"A lovely old town hall facade situated on the High Street between shops and restaurants.
A real community facility, ideal for functions and other gatherings.
Lots of architectural features to give the hall a 'special' feel.
Spotlessly clean.
Multistorey carpark within 2-3 mins walk."

"Had My Birthday Party Here On: Saturday 14th October Last Year.It was the Perfect Venue for Everyone to get to and Big enough for what was needed and We were able to extend Our Time which was great as It was an Evening Event.Would Definitely recommend!🙂"
Louise Atkinson
"A historic building providing spaces for private and public events and until recently the home of Carluccio in Berkhamsted. A good choice of space with a sense of historic quality. The place is well managed by a helpful, efficient and friendly staff. Rooms are available with the provision of hot and cold refreshments. If you need to hold an event this is a great place. If you want to visit on market day, Saturday, it will be open offering a range of artisan made articles. Walk around at your leisure. A nice place to be."
