Congleton Town Hall was completed in 1866 and is an
ideal venue for concerts, conferences, weddings and
dinner functions. There is a main hall, a conference room,
and two smaller meeting rooms or break-out rooms which
can be hired. Almost £1 million was spent in 1997
restoring the main hall to its former glory and updating
the building. The Town Council will be making further
improvements in the next few months.
