About Us
The Old Town Hall is a buzzing
arts space full of entertainment for everyone. Pop in to see our
art exhibitions or a midweek matinee film. Saturdays are dedicated
to the little ones with family films and children’s shows to
inspire and delight. For a night out there’s something to suit
everyone with music, theatre, film, comedy and dance. Relax with
friends in the gallery bar, open before and after shows.
History
Proudly standing in the old town High Street
since 1852, The Old Town Hall has been an arts space since 1978.
Take a peek inside and find out what’s on; we think you will be
pleasantly surprised. Look out from our gallery cafe bar, which
opens in the autumn, you will see the 12th century St
Mary’s church, reputed to be one of the highest church spires in
Western Europe.
Famous faces
With historic figures such as King
Henry VIII and William the Conqueror
gracing the Old Town’s High Street, it’s no wonder that the likes
of Jo Brand, Eddie Izzard, Mark Baldwin Dance, The Royal Court, the
Reduced Shakespeare Company, Ben Elton, Mark Thomas and Harry Hill
have walked the pilgrimage to The Old Town Hall!
Cafe with a view
Looking ahead to the autumn, we are delighted to reveal that we
have some refurbishment plans afoot. The first stage will see the
reopening of the gallery cafe bar during the day
to serve light refreshments. We look forward to sipping a coffee
and nibbling on a muffin whilst looking out at the
magnificent vista of St Mary’s Church and beyond
into Gadebridge Park. There is no other view quite like it
in Hemel Hempstead!

time.
