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 grand Main Hall forms the centrepiece,accommodating up to 1000 guests, ideal for large concerts, parties, dinners and exhibitions. The Drawing Room is a delightfully sunny room, accommodating up to 150 guests, perfect for dinners, recitals and networking events. The two bright, interconnecting rooms of the Holst Suite are the perfect space for smaller meetings, interviews, breakout rooms or private dining. The functional yet distinctive Pillar Room, accommodating up to 300 guests, is ideal for smaller concerts, live performances, exhibitions or meetings.
