1st Base Southampton – The UK’s First Interactive Baseball Experience

Looking for something exciting, different and seriously fun to do in Southampton? 1st Base is the UK’s first interactive baseball batting cage combined with a lively American-style games bar. Located on East Street, this indoor activity venue brings fast-paced action, brilliant social gaming and a buzzing atmosphere together under one roof. Whether you’re planning a night out, organising a big celebration or trying something new, 1st Base guarantees a great time.

A One-of-a-Kind Baseball Experience

The main attraction at 1st Base is the high-tech batting cage. Step up, swing the bat and watch your hit track across huge screens using smart ball-tracking technology. The system reads each shot by measuring speed, angle and distance, then places your hit on a virtual baseball field. It’s easy to pick up and suitable for anyone aged eight or above, making it one of Southampton’s most exciting indoor activities.

Games, Drinks and Non-Stop Fun

When you’re not in the cage, the activity bar keeps the energy going. Enjoy shuffleboard, ping-pong, basketball, foosball and plenty of competitive games. The bar offers cocktails, cold drinks and great American-inspired food, including pizzas, hot dogs and snacks. With 2-for-£14 cocktails and a relaxed games-bar vibe, it’s ideal for groups, date nights and after-work fun. Eastgate Multistorey Car Park sits directly opposite for easy access.

Perfect for Parties and Group Events

1st Base is a popular choice for stag dos, hen parties, birthdays, kids’ celebrations and corporate events. Groups of up to 40 can enjoy exclusive venue hire, complete with a baseball tournament, bar games, food and drinks. Packages include a first drink for every guest, hot dogs, pizzas and unlimited snack bowls. The venue also offers family discounts, short-notice bookings and tailored event options.
