Portsmouth Guildhall Schedule

Did You Know?

The interior and roof were totally destroyed, with just the outer walls and tower remaining, albit fire-damaged.

Portsmouth Guildhall is the biggest events venue in the Hampshire city of Portsmouth in England.

Portsmouth Guildhall official website accessed 25 October 2007 It is located in the city centre of Portsmouth, very close to the Portsmouth and Southsea railway station.On 10th January, 1941, during the Second World War, the building was hit by incendiary bombs and was gutted.

The building was rebuilt after the war for £1.5 million, using war compensation funds, and on 8th June 1959 Her Majesty the Queen performed the re-opening ceremony.

However, the interior was changed from the original and the external style is missing much of its original ornateness, especially the dome above the clock and the the finials atop the balustrades around the roof.

The building was originally called the Town Hall, but on 21st April 1926 it was announced that Portsmouth would be raised to the status of a city and the town hall was renamed the Guildhall.
