Venue at a glance
Southampton Guildhall is centrally located, close to all transport links, main businesses, quality hotels, shopping and leisure facilities.
Proposals to build a ‘Town Hall’ existed in 1878 and after 51 years of discussion the construction work began in 1929. In 1934 the decision to build the Guildhall was made and work was started taking nearly three years to complete due to the scarcity of material and labour as a result of WWII.
In 1937 a brand new state-of-the-art Guildhall, built in classical style of the 1930s, was opened by the 17th Earl of Derby and is today
part of a Grade 2* listed building.
