Old Town Hall
About us
Old Town Hall is located in Gravesend, England. It is the UK's most fascinating places to hold your wedding or corporate event. An elegant Georgian mansion set in the heart of the town's historic Heritage Quarter, Gravesend Old Town Hall has been fully restored to its original grandeur to provide a unique venue for sophisticated weddings, corporate and community events. Located just 17 minutes by high speed rail link from London and 10 minutes from the Channel Tunnel link Gravesend Old Town Hall is perfectly positioned for access from across Kent, Essex, Sussex, Greater London and the Continent. The Grand Hall is located on the first floor of the mansion and is a truly magnificent place to celebrate your marriage. The room was formerly the Council Chamber and features oak paneling, a splendid etched glass atrium ceiling and historic stained glass panels. Ceremonial doors lead out to the Grand Entrance and Main Staircase for your guests to enter via the imposing Greek portico and ancient stone stairs. After the ceremony guests can move to the Old Court Room to linger over welcome drinks and canapes whilst you take advantage of the many photo opportunities offered by this prestigious heritage building. The Grand Hall can accommodate up to 170 for civil ceremonies. Whilst photographs are being taken, the Grand Hall can be turned around by the official caterers for a sophisticated Wedding Reception for up to 120 guests. The Parlour Room is located on the first floor of the mansion and is an intimate space that can accommodate 12 for civil ceremonies. The Old Court Room is located adjacent to the Grand Hall on the first floor of the mansion. Once the scene of many Dickensian court room dramas, the Old Court Room has been transformed into a light and airy function room which provides the perfect setting for your wedding ceremony.
