Visited during a Saturday 'art and craft' Market inside with teas and cakes being sold. All okay, nothing too exciting.

A historic building providing spaces for private and public events and until recently the home of Carluccio in Berkhamsted. A good choice of space with a sense of historic quality. The place is well managed by a helpful, efficient and friendly staff. Rooms are available with the provision of hot and cold refreshments. If you need to hold an event this is a great place. If you want to visit on market day, Saturday, it will be open offering a range of artisan made articles. Walk around at your leisure. A nice place to be.

I attended a catered event this weekend & whilst I understand the waiters & waitresses have to have the doors open, I have never felt so cold. The draught coming up the stairs made it so uncomfortable, I just wanted to go home & thaw. Surely something can be done?

Nice big town hall. Great events held here. Parking can be a bit awkward but you can always find those more unique gifts if you come on the right days

Great venue for a wedding. Bar needs a bit more variety of stock maybe.
