The Southern Café & Music Hall offers accessible accommodations to patrons with ADA requirements. Our Café, venue and select bathrooms are fully accessible. The majority of our events are general admission therefore, there is not a specific ADA ticketing option. If you have special requests, simply ask our staff once you arrive or call us at 434.977.5590 and we will be glad to assist you.
Children & age policy
Unless otherwise posted The Southern is all ages. We do suggest a guardian accompany any patrons under the age of 14. Children 3 and under are not required to have a ticket to The Southern shows as long as their parents have a general admission ticket. If the parents have a reserved seat ticket, then all accompanying children must also have their own ticketed seat. We strongly encourage close supervision and ear protection for our youngest show attendees.
