Rich in heritage, opulence and vibrancy, our much-loved jewel of Cheltenham today sets a stunning backdrop for an impressive all year round events programme, as well as private functions and corporate hospitality. Imagine the dances and music of years gone by, while enjoying popular live music, comedy, festivals and exhibitions. Dine with us in our Regency Café before enjoying your event, or relax with a refreshing drink in our Imperial Garden Bar.
Built at the turn of twentieth century to accommodate the many balls and concerts of the town’s social calendar, Cheltenham Town Hall was, quite literally, made for celebrations. Until the year 1900, the role had been filled by the old Assembly Rooms in the High Street. Its demolition to make way for a bank prompted the Council to build a new, and much larger Hall, on a new site.
The total cost of the building, including its marbled Corinthian style columns, intricately decorated coved ceiling, dance-friendly sprung floor, beautiful balconies, internal decoration and fixtures and fittings was around £45,000! Standing proudly overlooking the immaculately manicured Imperial Gardens, Cheltenham Town Hall comprises of a grand Main Hall, varying sized dining and drawing rooms and offices.
The two bright, interconnecting rooms of the Holst Suite are the perfect space for smaller meetings, interviews, breakout rooms or private dining.

September 2024Nice venue with plenty of seating and well organised staff. The seating isn't tiered as in a theatre, but we had seats near the front, so this wasn't a concern for us. We found parking was free on a Sunday night around the side of the Town Hall which meant we only had a short walk.

November 202412th November 2024 First visit to this impressive building. Here to see John Barrowman, we saw him at Shrewsbury a few weeks back but our friend Lyn was usable to get so here we are with her . Once again he was superb putting on a wonderful performance. If you get the chance go see this show .

October 2024Now seen a number of sessions in the Cheltenham Literature Festival at the town hall, and they have all gone very well. The view, unless you're unlucky, is generally good and the technical side has been fine. The seating is very basic and I wouldn't like to sit much over the hour. There are always loads of stewards to control the queueing and then help you to find your seat. Usually a good experience.

December 2024Very disappointed with my bar experience this weekend at an event held at cheltenham Town Hall for Bingo Loco, this is the second time at the event and love it! But I don’t love getting ripped off with alcohol! Brought double Malibu and cokes at £9 each! and had x7 of these and I rarely drink so would expect to have some sort of effect from alcohol but didn't and left very sober so I’m very sure they put no or next to no alcohol in the drinks, very disappointing from the bar staff as there is such a mark up with drinks anyway so no need to rip people off like that. Word of advice drink before or buy sealed drinks!

November 2024They have some fantastic events and shows on, all absolutely ruined by the seating! Honestly how they expect people to sit there for hours with NO shoulder room at all is a joke. They seriously need to update the seating or at the very least, offer some 'premium' seating with more room.
