The History of the Hall

First established in 1911, the Bangalow Hall was originally used as the centre point for the annual Agriculture & Industrial show. The hall was also used for picture shows, debutante balls, community gatherings and, in war time, for soldier's farewells and welcome home concerts.

Over the 100+ years, the iconic hall has seen various other incarnations including a venue for dances, skating, weddings, markets, flower shows, and even an emergency hospital during the 1919 flu epidemic, plus a host of other activities.

The hall has had both an illustrious and precarious past. It almost fell into complete disuse in the latter part of the 20th century and its demolition was imminent. Then, thankfully, in 1991 the process begun of revitalising the building to her former glory. After a lot of hard work, the hall restoration was finally completed and the venue was officially re-opened on the 11th June, 1994.

Since the refurbishment the hall has been kept in good repair and the décor maintained to a high standard. Today the Hall is a wonderful combination of classical elegance and modern amenities.
