👍👍 This is a great little venue for small scale events and community activities. I'm surprised it's not used more or promoted more for concerts and other events. People often mention venue, great, Great, good,

    Great venue for small-scale to large-scale events, just a bit far from the city centre. Reasonable prices.

    Watched Polaris 22 here. It is a great venue and compact so every seat has a great view. Bar was very reasonable and was £4 for a bottle of Peroni, £3.50 for a Carlsberg. Hope the event comes back in the future.

    I attended a concert with my family, had great seats near the front for film music played by the London Film Music orchestra. It was a great performance although there were times when the air conditioning could be heard over the music which was a bit of a bummer. Overall it didn't impact our enjoyment of the event, my little boy even let out a 'wowsers' - so it must have been good!! We parked in the Eastgate Street multistorey car park and walked to the venue which was no trouble even though the underpass was completely flooded - we used the traffic lights instead. From what I remember there is a ramp to the entrance and otherwise it is step free so accessibility is good 👍

    Great night with Gazza, some really funny stories. Big cues for bar on arrival, but staff friendly and diligent in trying to serve people quickly. Toilets adequate but could do with more for the amount of people. Good seating for this type of event.

    Seat allocation seemed to be luck of the draw. Sound and lighting felt a bit flat to me, but not sure if that’s down to the tour or the room, but not the best acoustics in there. Bar could be a bit better organised, just seems to be a cafeteria kitchen made to be a makeshift bar selling multipack bottles and cans of drinks.

    I watched Polaris 17 here. Decent venue inside with a good view of the main area from all seats. Parking is a 5 minute walk.

    Visited for a Luther vandross concert. Brilliant night and even though the drinks were poured out of cans it didn't dampen the evening or atmosphere. Brilliant venue for intimate gigs

    An amazing venue, great STAFF (I know cause I work here😊) had some amazing shows so far this year, with loads of new exciting things on the cards for next year check the website for details. Before you book a venue for your next event please come take a look at our "Central Hall" it's a undiscovered GEM and I guarantee you will love it.

    I was surprised when Band of Skulls announced a gig at Central Hall but having walked past it numerous times I was curious to find out what it was like as a venue. I wasnt disappointed. The auditorium itself is a lovely space, standing with unreserved banked seating on three sides. The rest of the building is an architectural delight. The sound was excellent (a welcome change from the Guildhall). All in all it was an excellent night out at a great venue.

    Felt sorry for the security staff but they should have been stricter with letting drunks in.

    Very clean, theatre. Not too big not to far off from the stage. A cosy atmosphere. Stewards are friendly and helpful

    We watched Sleuth, a dance performance by Zoielogic and it was fantastic! So interesting and such a different take on how to put on a dance show.

    I regularly visit the cafe and enjoy a drink. The staff are always welcoming, they have a selection of food available on menu and cakes by the till. They have a good choice of drinks to pick from. I often have a hot chocolate or an Americano, but last time had a smoothie which was great to. The prices are good as well.

    I visited this venue for a chat show style talk. I really liked the building and will keep an eye open for future events here.
