    We recently went for comic con. They usually have good events on and this was no exception. The best toilets are definitely in the basement. They have a few bars, a main stage and various other multipurpose rooms available. It's a beautiful building and an important Portsmouth location. Very accessible.

    The Guildhall is everything a venue should be, aside from all the facilities, the people working there were amazing. We came over for a concert and when we needed help with something the head of security went out of his way to sort it. All the staff were really nice about everything, even as us two foreigners stumbled around cluelessly Thank you for this amazing experience guys!

    Great place for concerts, stand up comedy graduation ceremonies and other type of performances. The Lord Mayor offices are here as well as the City Council chamber. The Guildhall hosted the International Comic Con for first time in 2018 and they will do so again in 2019.

    Great show, sound was excellent. Venue is a bit tired, seats not great, limited leg room but all in all an enjoyable visit and excellent show

    Saw The Holiday with live orchestra.. The venue was nice but the Heat was rediculous, someone obviously put the heating on full which ruined the whole evening.
