Earlybird tickets for New Year’s Eve – under £10 for a lovely evening of music, food and good company, end this Sunday 9 December 2018.
Why not book now and relax in the knowledge that lovely plans are made for your New Year’s celebration?
We are limiting tickets, as always, to around 55 to keep the space from feeling hectic and crowded, so it is wise to book in advance as we are very unlikely to have any left on the night, this event generally sells out.
Until Sunday 9 December at 11pm, we are offering a free £5 gift voucher with every £20 voucher bought online – up to a maximum of £100 per person.
Vouchers can be exchanged for anything in our cafe and make excellent presents, with the added bonus of not having to go anywhere near a shop!
Simply fill in the form below and we will automatically add your free vouchers.
On to the events……

Just a quick one to let you know what is going on at The Art House this weekend and update you on our fundraiser. I have done a quick Facebook live update on our page if you want to watch it here.
Our fundraiser ends this Saturday 22 September and because of the overwhelming response to our shout out for donations on Monday we have decided to go for our stretch goal of £12000 – because we have faith that we can do this!
The extra will make it possible for us to get some repairs done, clear more payments from the summer slump and have some stability in our finances going into the winter.
Speaking of winter – I am in the Echo this week talking about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) – breaking down some stigmas around mental health by speaking openly about my own experience.
Thanks again for your support, it truly was an overwhelming experience watching the donations flood in this week and to be able to be brave and go for our stretch goal!
Hello 🙂 Jani here.
I did a Facebook live update on our page a couple of hours to go with some exciting news…. thanks to a huge flood of donations yesterday totalling nearly £800, we are now only £806 away from our £10000 target!
So, to make things interesting as we approach the end of the fundraiser on Saturday 22 September, we’ve decided to go for our stretch goal of £12000 – wahooooooo yikes!

The Bank Holiday weekend was lovely here at The Art House with Southampton Pride on Saturday, two performances of Oddbox Theatre’s ‘Closer’, Life Drawing on Sunday and our special Bank Holiday fundraiser. We livestreamed quite a bit of it on our Facebook pageincluding the Pride parade in case you missed it!
Now for an update on our fundraiser!
We have raised a total of £7209 and have just over £2790 left to go to our £10000 target!
If you are one of the 534 people who have donated or bought tickets for fundraisers so far, thank you so much – what a lovely example of collective support.
If you would like to help us with this final push, please click here.
We passed the halfway mark on Saturday evening thanks to a last minute £50 donation from one of our regulars 🙂
Here is the livestream on Facebook of the moment it happened – and Ziggy getting a head shave to celebrate!
Having hit the halfway mark is so encouraging and the funds have already been put to use to pay essential costs. Our final target is £10000 and we’re already on our way there with more donations having come in since the weekend. If you want to be a part of this amazing wave of community power, please click here.
Remember that small amounts add up so don’t be shy of chipping in a little bit.
