Bakewell's community arts centre and theatre, supporting local talent and the best entertainment.

At Bakewell Town & Community Trust we believe that the Town Hall is part of the community. The Trust is a registered charity, established to run the building and provide high quality arts, theatre, music and community events and activities. That’s why we are working hard to provide facilities and activities to suit a broad range of users. We offer a special reduced, community rate for local community groups and charities to ensure that we remain at the heart of Bakewell. Our current users are wide ranging and we want to welcome new groups, so we’ve made considerable efforts to improve accessibility. With the improvements we’ve implemented Bakewell Town Hall can provide rooms for hire with quality facilities for both small and large user groups.

🥊 Golden Boy 🥊

Join us this coming Thursday for our final National Theatre Live theatre streaming of 2026!!

Josh O’Connor (The Crown; Challengers) leads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’ knockout American classic.

1930s New York, at the height of the Depression. Joe Bonaparte is a gifted young violinist with a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing. He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice, who he’s willing to become and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side.

Brought to life with a live string quartet and filmed live from the Almeida Theatre, Olivier Award-winner Sam Yates (Vanya) directs this propulsive drama exploring ambition, identity, and the high price of success.

✨🎬 Film Friday November 🎬✨

"& Sons"

One morning, famous novelist Andrew Dyer wakes up convinced he must mend the broken relationships in his life and summons his sons to be with him.
It has been nearly 20 years since an incident tore apart the family. When the sons arrive, each burdened with their own struggles, Andrew reveals something so astonishing it couldn’t possibly be true -- or could it?
Summoning ALL of his children for what may be the first and last time, Andrew draws Richard and Jamie back into the family fold, their resentment still raw. Expecting a bid for forgiveness, they instead hear a revelation about their half brother Andy Jr. that rewrites everything they thought they knew about their family.
