Summer on the Southside

Join us this summer for a series of relaxed, family-friendly Saturdays in the beautiful surrounds of Portsmouth Cathedral. Taking place across four summer weekends, Summer on the Southside is a celebration of community, creativity and connection.

Enjoy delicious street food from local traders, sip something refreshing from The Dean's Tipple Bar, or visit our resident coffee partner Nells, all set within a welcoming outdoor space on the Cathedral's south side.

Each evening features Screen on the Green – a free outdoor cinema experience showing much-loved films for all ages, from animated favourites to timeless classics. Bring a blanket and cushions, settle in on the lawn, and enjoy the show.

Alongside the films, we'll be welcoming a pop-up busking stage with live acoustic sets and selected theatre performances from exciting touring companies. Activities are programmed with families in mind and our aim is to offer a safe and inclusive environment for all.

Entry to the site and screenings is completely free, and we warmly invite local residents and visitors alike to take part. Whether for a whole afternoon or just the film, there's something for everyone to enjoy at Summer on the Southside.
