On Friday the 18th of September, Councillors joined the Guildhall Project’s contractor, Symons Construction Ltd, on the newly completed Guildhall forecourt to mark the first finished phase of this important project.
The renewed space preserves the historic character of the Guildhall while creating a more welcoming and accessible entrance, with new granite paving, improved event infrastructure, and step-free access to both the Guildhall and Concert Hall.
With the forecourt now complete, work continues inside the Concert Hall ahead of its planned reopening in spring 2027.
