Built on a site originally set aside for the third phase of Basingstoke's shopping centre, The Anvil was built to tackle what was then seen as a 'cultural desert' in the Basingstoke area. The aim of the project was to raise the profile of the Borough and to establish it as a major regional centre with a range of first class facilities. Twenty years since its opening, it is still not exactly clear how effectively these aims have been fulfilled, but the Hall seems quite popular within the local area. The building's name reflects its unusual shape, particularly when seen from the western approach as it vaguely resembles the horn end of a traditional blacksmith's anvil. It has also been likened to the bow of a ship.
Covid test was very quick and all the staff super helpful.
Visited here whilst the theatre was being used as a test centre. It was set up fantastically with minimal human interaction needed. Everyone was kind and helpful. I'm not sure I'd want to go again unless I had to but it was very well managed!
Compared with the Hexagon in Reading the Anvil is so much more roomier, modern and cleaner. I have never been before and we took the opportunity to visit to see Lenny Henry. We were right at the back and the view was impressive too.
