Portsmouth Guildhall

Disabled seating is 5 spaces cannot have carer by side they sit on moveable chair behind you so not ideal. I found I felt segregated from everyone we wait while theatre empties so understand this for safety but on show when people going on stairwell beside you to leave venue. Would have loved to have been nearer front and with the crowd so not on show but part of the show

Portsmouth Guildhall is kind to its disabled customers. From the beginning where we are asked to join the front of the queue for early entry, to the 'whizzy' (I'm kidding) stair lift personally operated by a member of staff to the disabled platform at the back of the audience. The area designated gives you an excellent view with the standing audience several feet below. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. When the Seagirls finished their excellent set and the room was clearing almost everyone who climbed the stairs to exit grinned at me smiling away at the good time we had. And, once again, I was cheered by the leaving patrons as I made my stately way down on the stair lift! I love Portsmouth audiences!
