Built at the turn of twentieth century to accommodate the many balls and concerts of the town’s social calendar, Cheltenham Town Hall was, quite literally, made for celebrations. Until the year 1900, the role had been filled by the old Assembly Rooms in the High Street. Its demolition to make way for a bank prompted the Council to build a new, and much larger Hall, on a new site.

The total cost of the building, including its marbled Corinthian style columns, intricately decorated coved ceiling, dance-friendly sprung floor, beautiful balconies, internal decoration and fixtures and fittings was around £45,000! Standing proudly overlooking the immaculately manicured Imperial Gardens, Cheltenham Town Hall comprises of a grand Main Hall, varying sized dining and drawing rooms and offices.

Whats love got to do with it. Great show last night, but you do need to sort the sound system out.

I walked past the town hall on Saturday 7th September at night and was rather surprised by the number of naked people clearly visible through the windows. There was no scheduled event on, and I’m not sure what was going on—either a cosplay swingers’ party or a low-budget porno shoot—but either way, a small investment in curtains (and keeping the back doors firmly shut!) might be wise.
