The Ballroom

This magnificent Victorian Ballroom was originally designed by the architect G. T. Hine, and was built in 1894/5 for the community at the former Herrison Hospital. It has been recently restored to its former glory thanks to tireless campaigning by local residents after threat of demolition during the redevelopment of the hospital site. We are grateful to those who contributed to keeping this beautiful building here for all to enjoy.

The ballroom has an impressive hammer beam ceiling, a resilient wooden floor and stained glass upper windows. The south aspect enjoys beautiful countryside views. A large extended stage, excellent sight lines and first class acoustics makes the ballroom a popular venue for musical events. The ballroom has played host to world class musicians, choirs, shows, conferences, wedding receptions, parties and clubs….its versatility is endless !
