The Square Kitchen Café will also be open pre-show for ticket holders to evening events at the Guildhall.

Whilst visiting the café, customers can also visit the range of free exhibitions available to see at the Guildhall (subject to availability) including the Portsmouth Music Experience which reflects on the local music scene, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, The Beatles at The Savoy & Guildhall which gives a fascinating insight to the rock sensation’s visits to the city in 1963, Discover the Guildhall which brings to life the memories and historic events surrounding the Guildhall and photographic exhibition; Icons of Rock Portrait & Performance.     

A visit to the café could also be combined with one of the Guildhall’s many ‘Get Involved’ activities, which include a Skiffle Orchestra, Recharge (a singing workshop for the over 55s) and Mrs Blossom Makes family craft sessions.
