The Guildhall Arts Centre

The Guildhall in Eastgate Street (next door to the C&G Building Society) is the county's liveliest, most diverse venue, boasting two cinema screens, a concert hall, theatre, galleries, workshops and delightful café-bar.

Up to 200,000 people visit the venue each year to be entertained by fantastic new live music, comedy, theatre and dance. Many of the acts who cut their teeth at the Guildhall are now major household names.

The Guildhall's unique cinema is housed in the sumptuous oak-panelled former council chamber, and its diverse mix of classic films, arthouse releases and big screen blockbusters is the most exciting in the county.

The venue also stages hundreds of workshops every year, from Jazzjive to breakdancing, Tai Chi to arts and crafts, and has a year-round programme of cutting edge new art and photography exhibitions.

The Guildhall's café-bar is a laid-back and peaceful haven just a step away from the hustle and bustle of Eastgate Street, offering fresh, home-made vegetarian lunches and specialist teas and coffees from all across the globe.
