We have a large number of portable/semi-permanent or permanent theatre seating in blue fabric available to buy. Chairs come in blocks of 3 (we also have a small amount of blocks of 2). The portable seating slots into floor bars to stop them moving and meets fire regs. We have a number of 1/2/3 way bars for blocks of seats to sit into for different configurations.

Seats are used, some are better condition than others and are open to a first come first serve basis to take the best seats! We have a larger amount of permanent seating that is of good quality compared to the portable.

Permanent seats come with an upholstered armrest, portable ones have black plastic armrests.

Portable seats – If you buy a set of 10, we will provide free of charge a chair trolley for easy storage.

For every 2 or more portable seats, we will provide two locking bars to interconnect seating.

The seats are relatively heavy, should be carried by 2 people to be safe, but could be moved by 1 person. We currently use teams of two to remove the seats where necessary and we are able to remove 800 seats with 6 people in 1 hour.

These are professional theatre seats, well built and worth a lot of money when new! Contact Craig Patterson (craig.patterson@guildhalltrust.org.uk) for queries.

Collection from Portsmouth Guildhall, Portsmouth, PO1 2AB. Seats need to be collected from 1st week August until 1st week September.
