One of Grantham's most iconic buildings - and surely the most photographed - is now the town's leading theatre and a great wedding venue.
The Guildhall Arts Centre offers a wide range of professional productions in comedy, live music, drama, musical theatre, family theatre, dance, talks, film and workshops. And the Guildhall Arts Centre is also one of the best wedding venues in Grantham.
Originally built in Victorian times as a jail and sessions hall, the imposing Grade II-listed Guildhall Arts Centre is also the town's hub for all sorts of community activities, performances and the local arts scene. With great room hire rates available, the centre also plays host to meetings, conferences, workshops, fairs, receptions and parties.
Why do so many people choose the Guildhall Arts Centre? Its central location, welcoming staff, excellent transport links and convenient parking nearby, make this the best choice for entertainment and room hire in Grantham. The Guildhall's box office also acts as Grantham's Tourist Information Centre, with holiday brochures, timetables and town guides available.
