    Winchester is packed to the rafters with phenomenal buildings, each worth seeking out and seeing for yourself. The Guildhall is particularly magnificent and stands near the bottom of the High Street, overseen by the commanding statue of King Alfred who once ruled from the city.

    A vast, Victorian building, the Guildhall is a community building with some rooms open for public use including an art gallery. Events and exhibitions often take place in the building and there's a cafe concession on site.

        The Winchester Guildhall is a prominent Grade II listed Victorian building, built in the Gothic Revival style by architects Jeffery and Skiller and opened in 1873, standing on the High Street on a site once occupied by St Mary's Abbey. With its striking façade featuring a tall clock tower, an arcaded entrance, and statues of historical figures, the Guildhall was originally conceived as a larger complex to house civic government functions, law courts, the police station, and the fire brigade. Today, it operates as a major event and conference venue in the heart of the city, offering a range of versatile rooms like the grand Bapsy Hall and the King Charles Hall for weddings, conferences, and various other public and private functions.
