Entertainment and venues

If you’re looking to round off a day’s exploring with some live music, theatre or a good boogie, Portsmouth’s entertainment venues will have just the tonic.

There are a number of cinemas across the city, offering everything from the biggest Hollywood blockbusters to small indie flicks.

We also have a number of great theatres, with a diverse programme of performances all year round – from drama and music to dance and live comedy.

The live music continues at the city’s gig venues – where artists big and small have graced the stage for some iconic performances.

If you dream night consists of having a few drinks and hitting the dancefloor, a trip to Portsmouth’s nightclubs is a must. There are a host of options around the city, all offering different music styles across the week.

And don't forget, our events pages have all the information on what's going on during your next visit.
