The Guildhall was built in 1871 and over the years has been home to Winchester's law courts, museum, library and police station. In 1985 the Guildhall underwent an extensive refurbishment combining the old with the new to create a modern conference venue within an historic building.

We are your complete venue for parties, conferences, meetings, banquets, exhibitions, dances, concerts and much more in between.
