Plans
We have built on improvements already made to this Grade I listed building, including the renovated main hall.
We have:
- Opened up the grand entrance and installed an external ramp so visitors can enter through the Victorian lobby;
- created a new multi-function reception space;
- made changes to the courtroom to create a level multi-use space;
- upgraded one of the toilets on the ground floor to an accessible unisex toilet;
- installed a new warming kitchen on the first floor, making it safer to cater for large events;
- installed a new bar and high-quality audio system in the main hall; and
- added male and female toilet and changing facilities under the stage area.
This project is part of the Todmorden Town Deal, a £17.5m regeneration programme to develop the local economy and transform this market town.
