Welcome to Portsmouth's multi-purpose arts venue - the Third Floor Arts Centre.

Whether you're a regular theatre or gallery goer or you're new to the arts and don't know quite what to expect, there's something for everyone on the third floor of the Norrish Central Library.

Our 120 seat Menuhin Theatre plays host to local theatre companies, live music and spoken word. There are a range of weekly classes and workshops on offer for varying age ranges and abilities and a gallery space with a diverse programme of temporary exhibitions throughout the year. The Arts Centre is available for hire at very competitve rates - we have numerous rooms available for functions, rehearsals, classes, workshops, meetings and seminars. The theatre space is also available for hire.

We hope you'll pay us a visit very soon. In the meantime, click on the link at the bottom of the page to find out more about the centre and the activities on offer.
