About O2 Guildhall Southampton

O2 Guildhall Southampton is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

Where history shakes hands with the here-and-now. Since 1937, this iconic venue has been the city’s beating heart. The stage that’s rocked to Bowie. Raised the roof with Amy Winehouse. Celebrated thousands of moments that still get talked about. And now? It’s ready for yours. O2 Guildhall Southampton isn’t just a landmark. It’s a launchpad. A flexible, full-service space built to turn good ideas into show-stopping experiences. Conferences that energise. Awards that shine. Parties that buzz long after the last track drops. You bring the vision. We bring the stage, the tech, the know-how — and a team that’s as excited about your event as you are. Together, we make things happen. Big things. Unforgettable things. This is where heritage meets hustle. Where walls that have seen legends come alive again — for you, your audience, your moment.
