As the city marks 100 years, Portsmouth Guildhall Trust is proud to be introducing Guildhall Squared; a joyful new festival to be held in in Guildhall Square between the 5th – 10th of May 2026!

Guildhall Squared will celebrate connections across ages, cultures and communities. And where possible activities will be free for audiences to enjoy.

Just as a square requires four corners, so “Guildhall Squared” will draw from the four corners of our great city! Stay tuned for more information about what’s happening.

 

COMMUNITY CALL-OUT!

We’re inviting Artists, Creatives, Producers and Community Leaders to propose activities, performances, exhibitions or workshops to us to fill the Guildhall Square’s huge 585m2 festival tent with a rich variety of music, theatre, spoken word, film, food, dance and family fun.
