The Great Hall: Hampshire Cultural Trust takes the helm

We're excited to start a brand new chapter in Hampshire's heritage experience, as Hampshire Cultural Trust takes the helm at The Great Hall, Winchester.

An iconic landmark within the heart of the city of Winchester, The Great Hall is largely all that remains of what was once Winchester Castle's central grounds – its presence a majestic reminder of the significance of Winchester in the history of England.

An impressive site with a wealth of history, stories and battle scars, Hampshire Cultural Trust's fresh vision intertwines the narratives of The Great Hall and Westgate Museum into one cultural experience, exploring the legacy of what was once Winchester Castle.

Through events, interpretation and storytelling, we will not only entertain and engage, but also educate our audiences of all ages and backgrounds, illuminating Winchester's past for generations to come.

As we bring the city's historic narrative together, we are excited to introduce Historic Winchester – a unified vision for Hampshire Cultural Trust's Winchester heritage attractions.

With the introduction of Historic Winchester, we are thrilled to deliver a number of new ticket packages, allowing you to enjoy great value-for-money as you explore our attractions and the city's history!
