The Bargate
Heritage Open Day: From 6 to 8 September we will be opening the Bargate – the very well-known and much loved gateway into the medieval town of Southampton. From 6 to 8 September we will be opening the Bargate – the very well-known and much loved gateway into the medieval town. This is a rare opportunity to see inside. The gatehouse hasn’t been open regularly since 2012 and has recently undergone repairs inside and out.
We will be open from 10:00 – 15:00 (last entry at 14:30) and a maximum capacity of 50.
Within the Bargate you will be able to see the larger-than-life paintings of Bevois and Ascupart, which used to be hung on the outside of the building, welcoming visitors to the town, and Queen Anne’s Statue, still missing an arm.
