Did you know?… Cambridge Hall was built in 1874 to designs by Maxwell & Tuke. The Grade II listed building has undergone many transformations and is now home to The Atkinson’s Box Office, Shop, Café, Theatre, Studio and Museum! In 2024 we are celebrating 150 years of Cambridge Hall. Next time you are inside the foyer, take a closer look at the large stone fireplace inscribed with the date of the hall.
