The Gig Cartel - Venues: Winchester, The Railway

The Railway is Winchester’s only Music Venue. Its also the only really alternative pub, featuring comedy nights, poetry nights, regular film screenings and youth projects.We have two venues, plus a bar that’s open every day, and the largest covered garden in Winchester. We have no music policy. If someone wants to come and see it, we’ll book it. We are home to Winchester Folk Club, Scoundrels Comedy Club, Winchester Rock, Roots and Blues and Channel 32 with their retro video games. The Railway was built in 1850 but it’s still not finished. In recent years, it has established a national reputation as one of the UK’s premier regional live music venues.Your best bet is to come and try it for yourself.  You never know, you might like it.The Railway receives no subsidy from our local authorities.
