Gloucester City Council
The Guildhall ...
The premiere venue for comedy,
music, theatre and film.
There are very few theatres and concert halls quite like this one; managed by Gloucester City Council – The Guildhall is the ultimate local resource.
Run by Gloucester City Council - The Guildhall is one of Gloucester’s liveliest arts venues, entertaining a quarter of a million people every year. They’re drawn by the eclectic mix of live music, comedy and theatre; by the exhibits and wide ranging workshops. They’re drawn by their love of participative arts and dance; by their appreciation of contemporary theatre and films (art house and blockbuster alike.) In short, they’re drawn by top quality art and entertainment.
Once the home of Gloucester City Council – The Guildhall is now a versatile home to the arts in Gloucester; it’s quite unique. Combing the facilities of theatres and concert halls, cinema and dance floor; together with meeting rooms for hire and a café bar to boot; The Guildhall belies its modest façade on Eastgate Street, Gloucester. Step inside and see for yourself; there’s just so much to discover beyond the box office…
-
Sumptuous oak panelled cinema, showing art house, box office blockbuster, contemporary and classic films; quality is the only criterion
-
Guildhall theatre and dance floor - once the civic ballroom, the dance floor is as brilliantly sprung as ever - just try to keep your feet still
-
Real ‘live’ music – all tastes catered for; all musical genres encouraged
-
Regular comedy and music nights featuring award winning national stars and fresh local talent
Above all, this is a venue that Gloucester can be proud of. Managed by Gloucester City Council – The Guildhall fulfils a significant part of the Council’s commitment to supporting local theatres and concert halls; and to promoting local arts and entertainment.
Theatres and concert halls can rarely offer such a wide ranging programme of arts and attractions; but there are very few venues quite like the Guildhall!

Always a fantastic selection of shows available during the year. Brilliant entertainment for everyone.
The Gloucester Guildhall's slogan is "the counties livliest venue" and they really are! There is so much going on and the Guildhall and very often there are even free events. My favourite thing about the Guildhall though is the staff! They are the nicest, friendlies people you will ever meet, it's as if they had to do a loveliness test to get the job. I go to the Guildhall for Musiclab which is a free open mic event and is loads of fun. Also I go to D7 Church there and for coffee at the coffee shop. I have attended Gig's and events and seem to end up spending most of my week there even though I live in Cheltenham. Seriously, I highly recommend this place, they even have a cinema showing latest releases. Whew, better stop now but there is loads more to say. Check it out for your self. I could easily say this place must be the heart of Gloucester.
The Guildhall is one of the best venues on the County to see a whole range of events, whether your interest is music,film,comedy,photography you can be entertained in a safe and relaxing environment; one of the best vaue for money Comedy nights is the monthly Giggle at the guild where, for only £5, you can see a host of up and coming acts from all cross the county, a great night out!
