    Went to the Take Down festival at the guild hall. A very regal building and a really great venue. I will be back next year and this time I will attend both days. Well worth the 3.5 hour drive.

    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.

    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 a universal venue that has multiple experiences and evenings. I have been here several times to watch the LOL comedy evenings and now Al Murray. The venue is able to handle these shows very well but the only thing that let's it down is the cost of alcohol. I know you'd excited r it to be costly from a tap, but it's from cans and £28 for 2 cans of beer and 2 cans of gin was way over the top. That said there are plenty of places close by that serve drinks far more reasonably. It's a good venue and will be going again

    I got to see this while returning from Portsmouth Harbour to train station. Really beautiful architectural work reflecting history. It is situated in just a minute from train station.
