We won tickets to watch Elf the Musical and it was fantastic. Bit of panto thrown in for good measure too. The kids absolutely loved it. An evening well spent and it was out first visit to the theatre. Looking forward to going back
Took my family member for a memorable early Christmas special, The Massed Bands of the Royal Marines Christmas Special, inside the Guildhall Portsmouth absolutely fabulous. I'd added the Hospitality Chautary board and pre ordered drinks from the bar, so glad this was done! this added to the night being more special, the staff throughout in the Guildhall were amazing, and the hospitality staff also throughout the evening, even assisting me with allergen information. Lol be careful of the security guard.. oh he was a chame, great with his banter and wit, had us laughing before even getting in the building, The Massed Bands...what can I say... Thank you so much for your service, Exceceptional, a very thought provoking performance, it certainly caused emotions, laughter and the use of your voice, I highly recommend. We sat in the side circle row FF, loved are seats but I didn't allow for our view to be impeded by a stop your fall rail, (To prevent those stumbling down the stairs going over into the crowd below potential) Great view and closeness barr that. But good knowledge for next time. Definitely worth pre booking in advance as we did. Couldn't fault the Guildhall in anyway. Toilet clean lifts available, disabled access, really lovely to see the lions at the front and the building wrapped in a bow. Loved our visit. 40+ years since our last vist A short walk from the IBis Hotel Taxi/UBER not required, benches and seating areas pubs and coffee stops along the way if you struggle with mobility like we did. Taking in the atmosphere was also a great part of the night, and we left early so we could bench hop our way there.
We went to see a favourite folk-rock singer perform. The building is old-style and interesting, with facilities spread over a range of corridors, spaces and floors. The central theatre area has stalls with a good rake, and a grand circle that's not too far from the stage. We sat in the side-circle, which was great. The rows are closely placed, and it's not easy to move past others in the row, even when standing. The 'background' music during the interval was too noisy for me - almost as loud as the actual performances - and we had to shout just to hear each other.
Fabulous venue to see the Counting Crows - really impressive acoustics - really enjoyed it. Shame we had to queue in the rain to get in, but understand why.
Had my convocation held here. I felt it was quite warm inside especially when in graduation attire. Very beautiful building. Up keeping it is not to the level. Saw spray painting on walls outside guildhall
Great venue for shows and in a great location near pubs, hotels and shops. Went to the East 17 gig just before Christmas with the missus. My only gripe is the cost of drinks, expect to pay a bit more than you would in a pub. Seating a bit cramped too, very close together.
It’s a lovely looking building - especially at night with the lights. I’ve been here for several events now and the staff are always friendly. They are very accessible and even offer an autism booklet with pictures online to prepare you for your visit. I love the variety of events they hold here and their website is easy to navigate.
Great venue with great views wherever you are seated. We were seated in the circle row K 9 and 10 and the seats were excellent. Easy parking nearby in the multi storey 5 minutes away.
An excellent venue. We were met by friendly efficient staff, so no long standing in a queue, even though it was a capacity crowd. Bar and cafe were well stocked, and again, the staff, only too happy to help. The seating plan meant everyone had a good clear view. And probably the most important when seeing a live band. The acoustics were excellent. The sound crystal clear. Great night, I will return.
