Arts and entertainment

Culture and the arts play a vital role in Portsmouth’s vibrancy as a city. Our arts service actively supports a wide range of cultural activities throughout the year for residents and visitors, with the aim of:

• delivering passion, energy and innovation through the arts directly into local communities
• supporting the development of strong arts networks across the city and region
• encouraging innovation and creativity in all art forms
• providing a key role in building sustainable communities through supporting arts projects
• broadening understanding of the arts and building the reputation of the city

Whatever your interest, visitors and residents alike are often surprised by just how much is going on in Portsmouth. The city really is alive with a fantastic range of entertainment for all ages day and night, all year round.
 
Cinemas, music venues, galleries and theatres all combine to create a lively mix of activities for everyone to enjoy. The culture of Portsmouth truly is a hidden jewel of the south coast, rivalling arts hotspots such as Brighton. Portsmouth has a lot more to offer than most people imagine.
