Its graduation time again!!! Congrats to all graduates. This place is a blast, and the great mood of seeing triumphant families moving around showing love to the graduating in their families is priceless.The hall is of modest size and can accommodate quite a number of people. The sound acoustics here are amazing, and following events is quite effortless.The challenge is most probably with wheelchair accessibility, since the hall is all but steps. I might have missed the wheelchair entrance, but I cant say I saw one.

Absolutely beautiful Hall with good acoustics.The seats are comfy, good leg room and well stacked (you dont have to look around peoples heads to see the stage).Parking is a nightmare though. If you are going to an event there, make sure you arrive early to get a parking spot.

This venue has superb acoustics and atmosphere for large musical concerts. The access does not seem wheelchair friendly. There is adequate parking at night concerts but you may have walk some distance. The seating is excellent and the rake if the theatre ensures good viewing from all positions

Review №47

Very easy to find and access. Could do so much better to accommodate the disabled and elderly because there are flights of stairs to overcome from the common parking lot (getting in early doesnt always help since there are occasional barricades).It has an air of regal old school and quaint charm. Thankfully, everything still works well.

This was the greatest moment of my life that I will always cherish and be thankful for. On this 20th day of November 2019, I was awarded an LLB degree by the University of South Africa (UNISA), a highlight of my life indeed. All thanks to my Lord and personal saviour Jesus Christ through whom all this was possible, and glory to the name of the Almighty God, Jehovah 🙏😇

We were there for the Pretoria Symphony Orchestral performance. It was a great event. The venue has wonderful acoustic properties. The facilities are neat and clean. The seats are comfortable with lots of leg space. The aircon is fantastic. The lighting is soft on the eyes and well maintained.Pleasant experience...I would recommend this venue.

A classic auditorium used for the universities graduation ceremony.

Review №66

Lovely hall for the graduation ceremonies held there. Quite big and accommodates a large number of visitors. Chairs are very comfortable and the hall is very clean. There are ablution facilities just outside from the hall and the female bathrooms have a dress up area with mirrors and lights to apply your make-up. There are elevators for guests on wheelchairs. The drawback is that when the graduation ceremonies are over, there is only one exit to accommodate the entire guest population which bottlenecks and there is chaos. There are stairs coming out of the hall and it is a mission going down on these when there are hundreds other people trying to navigate the same.

The venue is well equipped for large events, especially classical music concerts. The only issue I have is that the entrance and exit to the venue get bottlenecked during large events.

Very accessible venue for clasdical music concerts in Pretora. The Rieger pipe organ is something to see an hear - it was designed for the concert hall. The Hall is also one of the few venues in Pretoria that can seat up to 1000 people.
