Originally paid for by the townspeople of Birmingham, the Town Hall will reopen, renovated and rejuvenated, for the people of the city and region early in 2007.

Acclaimed at its opening in 1834 as the finest Music Hall in the country, the Grade 1 listed landmark is now being lovingly and painstakingly renovated by a dedicated team of conservation and construction professionals.

Designed by Joseph Aloysius Hansom for the performance of music, political speechmaking, public gatherings and the use of the urban community, the Town Hall opened in 1834.

Since that time, its imposing neo-classical design has dominated the city centre’s Victoria and Centenary Squares.
