The Ashton Hall
The Ashton Hall is the jewel in the crown of Lancaster Town Hall, offering the perfect setting for large-scale events.
Available for both commercial and non-commercial hire, Ashton Hall features a magnificent Norman & Beard of Norwich organ and a stunning ceiling adorned with heraldic shields - each representing a Duke of Lancaster from the first in 1066 to 1422.
Its sprung floor has hosted countless parties and dances well into the night, while the built-in stage has welcomed acclaimed performers such as Frank Turner, Rae Morris, and Sir John Cooper Clarke.
The venue also benefits from its own dedicated street entrance, cloakrooms, and restrooms - reflecting its original design as a grand concert hall.
Large-scale weddings
The Ashton Hall is the ideal choice for large-scale weddings. Although our glorious hall is beautiful in its own right, there is plenty of 'blank canvas' elements available for you to transform the space into the perfect location for your dream day.
