Rochdale Town Hall is regarded as one of the UK’s finest examples of Victorian Gothic architecture.
Rochdale Town Hall is a grade one listed building designed by William Crossland and opened in 1871 to symbolise the town’s industrial standing in the textile trade. Historic England says its ornate stylings are rivalled only by the Palace of Westminster.
Restoring and transforming the iconic Rochdale Town Hall
In 2021 work commenced to restore the building to its former glory, some 150 years after it was completed. The extensive work being carried out will create an open and accessible community space featuring exhibition rooms and a new Bright Hall for community events to take place.
Rochdale Town Hall is currently closed for business while renovations take place.
It is expected to reopen in 2023, however, there are a number of town hall-related events planned as part of the work to restore it. We're also currently taking bookings for weddings and events.
