Preston Guild Hall Entertainment Complex is dominated by 2 fantastic venues that host on average around 300 events per year with over 100,000 visitors. The Grand Hall Arena was designed as a prestigious concert venue seating over 2,000 guests although it's multi purpose layout and flexibility means that it can be used for a range of activities and productions including large dinner events, sporting events, conferencing, dance events and much, much more.
The Charter Theatre is a smaller venue with a much more traditional theatre ambiance seating 780 guests. Unlike the Grand Hall, the Charter Theatre is a fully equipped theatre with flying equipment and pros walls with traditional theatre style seating.
Over the years both venues have operated side by side offering a wide range of products and services to suit all its visitors – past, present and future. From big names in the entertainment industry such as Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Elton John, David Bowie, to name but a few, to big games including World Snooker, International Darts, Bowls and International Badminton.
Each season is a new challenge as we aim to produce a fantastic programme of events and productions that allow us to Entertain You!
