The Old Town Hall: Glossop’s Premier New Wedding and Events Destination

Following the much-celebrated reopening of the Market Hall, another exciting chapter in Glossop’s historic transformation begins. The Old Town Hall, a beautifully restored Grade II-listed building, has officially opened its doors as an elegant new wedding and events venue. Blending timeless heritage with refined modern touches, it offers a truly special setting in the very heart of the town.

Located directly above the busy Glossop Market Hall, this "jewel in the crown" of the multi-million-pound regeneration project offers a versatile, high-end space for weddings, corporate functions, and community celebrations. 

The restoration, led and funded by High Peak Borough Council and operated by The Hospitality Collective, has breathed new life into the Italianate-style building, preserving its 19th-century grandeur while installing state-of-the-art facilities.

A Venue Like No Other 

The Old Town Hall combines historic architectural features with a contemporary finish, creating an unforgettable backdrop for any occasion. With a capacity of up to 180 guests, the space is as versatile as it is beautiful.

Key features of the new venue include:

A Historic Ballroom: A breathtaking space with high ceilings and beautiful original features, proudly reflecting the building’s 1838 heritage.

A Fully Stocked Bar: A dedicated bar serving a carefully curated selection of premium spirits, including much-loved local favourites from Glossop Distillery.

Exceptional Facilities: Thoughtfully equipped with round tables, chairs and elegant white linen as standard, creating a seamless and stress-free experience for hosts and guests alike.

Unrivalled Views: Large, lovingly restored windows frame charming views over Norfolk Square and out towards the stunning Peak District landscape.

Catering Options: Choose from the Old Town Hall’s catering partner, Fork & Field, or explore the fantastic range of vendors downstairs, ready to bring delicious street food flavours to your celebration.

An Iconic Setting for Special Occasions

More than just a wedding venue, The Old Town Hall is set to become a vibrant community hub. From grand galas and business conferences to local workshops and intimate family gatherings, the space has been reimagined to serve the people of Glossop for generations to come.

Richard Walker, Managing Director of The Hospitality Collective, said:

“The opening of The Old Town Hall is a momentous occasion for Glossop. While the Market Hall has already become the heartbeat of the town’s daily life, this upstairs space represents its soul. We have worked tirelessly to ensure that the restoration honours the building's civic history while providing a world-class venue that can host everything from a couple’s dream wedding to major community events. It is a space the whole town can truly be proud of.”

The launch of The Old Town Hall completes the wider vision for the Municipal Buildings complex. By blending the artisanal energy of the Market Hall below with the sophisticated event space above, Glossop now boasts a year-round destination that supports local enterprise and celebrates its rich cultural identity.
