Live Music
Papillon draws similarities to some of Europe’s favourite touring venues like Paradiso, Trinity, Amazing Grace and Koko. Opening as a live music venue in autumn 2023, Papillon has already begun to establish itself as an iconic destination in Southampton for musicians and fans alike. Located in the city centre and at 450 capacity, the historical church offers a unique setting for high profile touring acts and sell out shows.
