www.portsmouthguildhall.org.ukPORTSMOUTH GUILDHALL, GUILDHALL SQUARE PO1 2ABMANAGED BY THE GUILDHALL TRUST, REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER: 1153358
LET’S GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD!
I would like to open by saying a big thank you to everyone that has supported The Guildhall Trust through what has been one of the most challenging periods in the history of the Guildhall. If you have bought tickets for a future show or held on to tickets if your show has been rescheduled, become a Guildhall Member, made a donation, rescheduled your wedding, party or conference booking with us or even just engaged with us on social media – you have made a difference!
Now, as we see the return of live performance without social distancing, I want to reassure you that as an organisation we take our responsibility to help control the risk of infection seriously and as such we will be keeping a range of measures in place to keep you, and my colleagues, safe. And whilst we know that many of you can’t wait to be enjoying shows once more, we also know that some might be feeling a bit more apprehensive, so we ask everyone to please be kind and consider the person sitting or standing next to you.
With that said, we can’t wait to get back to doing what we love at Portsmouth Guildhall! And what a packed year we have ahead of us, full of not just rescheduled shows but artists who can’t wait to tour and perform again and the return of our own events, Portsmouth Comic Con - International Festival of Comics, Big Mouth Comedy Festival, Guildhall Games Fest and the launch of our new SAMPLED open day event.
Over the last 18 months, I am extremely proud of the way The Guildhall Trust has adapted to the challenges it faced, supported our community where we could, repeatedly diversified the use of our venue and continued to deliver elements of our Get Involved programme online. We were delighted to welcome UVG – The Urban Vocal Group into the Trust earlier this year and our Dance Live! competition for schools and colleges is expanding at an exciting pace!
We certainly have our ticket to brighter times ahead, do you have yours?
