The Neeld Hall

The Neeld Hall was built in 1850 as an extension to the Town Hall and the construction was shedding, which housed the Cheese Market and the Corn Exchange. Records show that in 1852 1,690 tons of cheese was sold and this total then increased to 1,856 tons in 1872. Unfortunately, the sales declined and by 1884 only 984 tons were sold. During the First World War, the hall was transformed into a military ward to nurse badly injured soldiers.

More recently, the hall has been extensively modernised, which has included the installation of new acoustic curtains to the interior walls, which has improved the sound quality in the auditorium. The hall benefits from an impressive stage and magnificent proscenium arch and offers an ideal venue to host theatrical performances, corporate and community events.

The hall is licensed under the Licensing Act 2003 for public entertainment, theatre, cinema and the sale of alcohol, but is also licensed for Civil Ceremonies and can comfortably seat up to 300 people (theatre style).
