A wonderful venue. The converted church building is atmospheric and the acoustic for live music is superb. The programme is adventurous and always surprising. A

A solid concert venue. We saw a popular touring band here and sightlines from the standing area were decent. Sound quality was good. The Maltings car park next 

­ƒÆí Did You Know?

🏗️

Salisbury Cathedral was built in just 38 years (1220–1258), which is extraordinarily fast for a medieval building of its size — most cathedrals took centuries.

💧

Salisbury Cathedral is built on a raft of clay and gravel over a bog — the Victorians added 6,000 tonnes of stone to one side to stop it sinking further.

🏯

Old Sarum is one of the oldest settlements in Britain — it has been continuously occupied since the Iron Age, over 3,000 years ago.
