Music Venue: 'Live At The Hyde'
We run a unique, independent, live music venue from the cellar of the Hyde Tavern.
A cosy, candle-lit vibe, and intimate atmosphere, hosting award-winning touring artists, bands and duos from around the world. Founded in 2013 by acclaimed international musician Ruth Theodore, the venue has become known as one of Winchester’s top spots for high quality folk and roots music from around the world.
We are keen to support quality original music from all countries, cultures and ways of life.
Over the years we have hosted the likes of Martin Carthy, Edith WeUtonga, Andy Irvine, Hamell On Trial, Chastity Brown, Rory McCleod, Brothers Gillespie, Son Of Town Hall, Hillary Klug, Undercover Hippy, Michele Stodart… and so many more!
