SEPT-DEC

2021

RIBA3 PUBLIC CONSULTATION NOW CLOSED!

OUR VISION

The Festival Hall Complex in Petersfield exists to offer a programme of quality professional and amateur arts and cultural opportunities to the people and communities of Petersfield and beyond.

To become the local and sub-regional venue of choice for participants, audiences and other stakeholders, offering high quality and accessible spaces and facilities for the widest variety of uses, responding dynamically to change and attracting more residents and visitors to Petersfield Town.

regrettably we decided to cancel our ‘Closing Night’ event which was to be held at the Town Hall this Friday (17th) december (by invitation) – This is due to the uncertainties around the Omicron Covid-19 variant.

let us entertain you!
