Stretford Public Hall

Join us at Stretford Public Hall for a day of discovery.

Come and learn about the history of this impressive building and the people and events that helped to shape it through the years, turning it into the prominent and valuable community resource it is today.

Since 2015, the hall has been a community-owned venue, run by staff and volunteers, for the benefit of our local community.

Entry is free and visitors will have the chance to tour parts of the building that are not usually open to the public, such as the hall’s clock tower and the vast basement, and even have a chat with ‘Enriqueta’!
Guest speakers will include Dr Elizabeth Gow, Curator and Archivist at John Rylands Library
Younger visitors will be able to try out a variety of craft activities during the afternoon.
Refreshments and snacks will be available at our bar and café.
Everyone is welcome, whether you’re curious about the building, interested in volunteering, or just fancy a cuppa.
In September 2029 the hall will be 150 years old, and we are planning a special celebration. To help us tell the full story of the hall’s history, we are gathering people’s memories and personal connections to the hall over the years. If you think you can contribute to this project, please contact us either by email at [email protected] or phone 0161 989 1689.
