The only reason i go inside this rundown building is to go on a computer in the computer room which only has 10 computers

Used to be good but know in need of a overhaul Bowling lanes to greasy with fresh oils...and do not actually work as they should.. slight bend etc.. nothing like it!! Spin doesn't work.. abysmal. But I did get a transfer but no offer of a refund wth?? Shuffleboard completely knackered 4 bits missing on 1 table!! Don't slide 1 end but do the other wth? Staff stood about chatting behind the bar. Wet bar. Just not good enough by far Go to flowerbowl instead!!! Really dissatisfied and it's ashame as it was once ace!!!! Messy areas.. teens smoking weed outside every night which isn't there fault but very intimidating to be near... outsidecares full of chewing gum on floor outside. .... They need to upgrade certain areas and until they do I will not be returning anytime soon. Shame really .. it's needs to be much better in many ways. P.s the lanes really didn't work.. I saw a semi pro player using massive spin but it went straight and he was not happy!!!! Like any business they need to keep on top of things Staff training is a must. Arms folded On phones Etc etc

Visited the Level. It has a lot of activities under a single roof and unique to Preston. However staff weren't very helpful...and even my daughter and her friends who went there for a birthday party felt they were quite rude. Having booked the laser tag event...I got the girls there and found that some others who hadn't booked the slot had been allowed in. They then made the girls do the event with those people who were not part of the group...absolute shambles..spoils the experience

When Rigby took over he promised the big bands and comedians would return but the usual tribute acts and AmDram are booked every quarter year. In the past I've seen Northern Stage productions of Animal Farm, 1984, A Clockwork Orange and Hamlet. I've seen Weller, League of Gentleman, Frank Skinner, Beautiful South and more. Bands just breaking through should be snapped up and given a platform. Back in the early 90s The Verve played here. The Charlatans as well. Nowadays, Preston Guild Hall is just owned and operated by a charlatan.

Very strange venue, attended for the Evil Blizzard, Part Chimp and Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs gig. Decent sound for what is essentially a round theatre venue, raked seating surrounds the standing area on the 2nd floor, the bars are on the 1st floor and the entrance is on the ground floor. It's around a 10 minute walk from Preston train station, a few restaurants and take aways are dotted around the Guild Hall.

The Guildhall looks a far cry from its pristine appearance in the 70s and later years. It looks tired and neglected. I wouldn't recommend, that in its current state, anyone should go to it for whatever reason. Its become an embarrassment to this wonderful city.. What should be the showpiece of Lancashire, is just an eyesore..

We went on Friday evening to watch Alijaz and Jeanette ( apologies if I spelt his name wrong) and what a fantastic show. First time I have been to the theatre and was impressed by the easy way it was connected to the car park. I would have awarded 5 stars but on reaching the circle the heat was overpowering, everyone was fanning themselves and taking clothes off and still it was unbearable. The seating was very tight you could not sit with your knees comfortable and I am not a giant. My husband who has arthritis in his knees was so much in pain I had to ask if he could move to the side where the disabled sit although he usually is fine anywhere including plane seats where there isn’t a lot of room. Apart from those two issues the show was one of the best we have seen. If these issues were attended to I would love to visit again.

Evening was spoilt because the theatre was too hot. Felt quite poorly by the end of the show. Also spoilt by people being allowed in after the show had started and also by people sitting along the sides of the theatre dress circle causing problems by blocking exits and the usher speaking to them quite loudly to make them move 😠. Shame because the theatre itself if lovely.

Attended for the Snooker semi final. Once in the Arena area it was fine and we enjoyed the match. The waiting area is small and dull with little choice of overpriced merchandice. Then when allowed into the arena we were herded like lambs through a single entrance up 2 flights of stairs which was a very uncomfortable and claustrophobic experience. An accident waiting to happen! Why the other entrances were not open and people be allowed to enter at their own leisure I do not know.

Whether it's sport (snooker, darts, wrestling), music, pantomime, or other shows the facilities are great and I've always found the staff to be friendly and helpful. I've not had a bad experience in the many years I've been attending.

DNA mindreaders were great however the venue is VERY expensive and cold - my partner was driving so I asked for a coffee to be told no! I know how much it costs to make 1 jug of filter coffee and judging by their other prices they would have made a huge profit by just selling 1 cup! We sat throughout the performance shivering, I'm sure they could have put the heating on for an hour or so. Staff maybe need a refresher in customer service and learn how to smile

I came for a Birthday meal. The staff reserved a selection of tables ready. The staff are friendly and helpful. However, if you don't order the carvery, food takes a long time to come out. Some of our guests waited up to 40 minutes for burgers and pizza well after everyone else had eaten. Also, the air con either doesn't work or wasn't on and everyone was uncomfortably hot. I presume the air con doesn't work as it looks terribly old looking and the walls had water stains from condensation. There's no windows to open and it made it an unpleasant experience. Aside from the heat and the slow service, there wasn't any other complaints.
