Unfortunately, however, the most recent inspections have identified that further important work will be required, moving forward. Consequently, to safeguard the health and safety of customers, performers and employees, the decision has been taken to close the main auditorium with immediate effect.

 

The remainder of the building, including the Croft Suite, Constables Bar, the wedding suite in the Middlegate Room and Headland Library will continue to operate as normal.

As further investigations are required, it is not possible to provide a reopening date for the main auditorium, but please continue to follow this page and Creative Hartlepool for the latest updates.

We would like to apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment that this may cause to our customers and to partner organisations. It is not a decision that has been taken lightly.

 

Team members from the Council’s Creative Hartlepool team have contacted all organisations and individuals with existing bookings at the Borough Hall, however if you do have an upcoming booking and we haven’t been able to contact you so far, we will be in touch with you to discuss your booking over the next few days.

For those planning to get married at the Borough Hall in the coming weeks, we are happy to confirm that the ceremonies will be able to go ahead as planned.
