Support Us For over 60 years as a Concert Hall in the heart of Portsmouth, we have been transforming lives through music, arts and heritage. Portsmouth Guildhall The Guildhall Trust manages Portsmouth Guildhall and delivers a range of inspirational opportunities for the community. The Guildhall Trust is an independent charity that manages Portsmouth Guildhall and delivers a range of inspirational opportunities for the community. Our core purpose is to provide creative opportunities, thereby encouraging both individuals and communities to engage with culture to inspire, entertain and transform lives. Our ‘Get Involved’ programmes provide a range of workshops and activities for all ages, allowing people to develop their passion for music and the arts. For many people there are very real barriers to accessing creative arts and culture. Your support can help to remove these barriers and make music and the arts accessible to all, regardless of age and background. The Guildhall Trust is funded entirely by our charitable activities, and we rely on the support of people like you – people who understand the joy and power of live performances.

Corporate Membership Naming Rights Our Supporters Programme and Event Sponsorship Myth: Portsmouth Guildhall gets lots of money from selling tickets Fact: Ticket prices are set by agents and promoters and we only get a small percentage of this price. Myth: Portsmouth Guildhall gets lots of money from booking fees Fact: Booking fees are set by our ticketing system partner, Ticketmaster, to cover the cost of the computer systems, people and processes involved in selling tickets. We get a small percentage of this fee which goes towards covering our own operational costs. Myth: Portsmouth Guildhall is run by and gets lots of money from the City Council Fact: Portsmouth City Council own the building which is leased to The Guildhall Trust. We are very grateful for the grant funding we receive but this is less than ¼ of what is needed to operate on a daily basis and will not cover the major investment that is now needed to secure the future of the Guildhall.
