THE OLD TOWN HALL
The Old Town Hall was built in 1851 on a site occupied since the end of the 16
th
century by a
Market Hall. Since that time it has been the hub of all the towns social activities through its use for
services and Sunday Schools, debates, dinners, a Natural History Society, a Mutual Improvement
Society, and the city Town Hall until 1964. In 1978 it opened as The Old Town Hall arts centre
funded by Dacorum Borough Council. The ballroom became the main theatre, the old cellars were
transformed into the atmospheric Cellar Club where we host comedy and jazz events and the
Council Chamber and robing rooms became the Gallery Bar and popular exhibition space.
