We’re lucky to be hosted by some fantastic local venues – here is more information and a little bit of history.

St Denys Church

Dundee Road, St Denys, SO17 2ND

The St Denys riverside district takes its name from the Augustinian Priory founded here in 1127, of which little now remains. Our beautiful church was built in 1867 by the renowned architect Sir George Gilbert Scott – the same visionary behind London’s St Pancras Railway Station. Constructed in red brick with warm Bath limestone dressings, it’s a fine example of gothic revival architecture, with its intricate decorations and gargoyles. The South Aisle was added in 1889, and the Church Centre built in 1997 thoughtfully incorporating materials from earlier buildings, including timber trusses from the 1910 church hall.

Inside, you’ll find precious fragments of our medieval heritage – encaustic tiles from the original Priory pavement and a stone coffin dating from the 12th to 13th century. These tangible links to Southampton’s past remind us that St Denys has been a gathering place for our community for nearly 900 years, connecting us to generations of local people who’ve called this riverside neighbourhood home.
