About this space

Chetham’s Baronial Hall is one of the best-preserved fifteenth-century spaces of its kind.

The Baronial Hall is used regularly as a performance venue by Chetham’s School of Music and provides an intimate and atmospheric setting for smaller-scale concerts which may be ticketed through The Stoller Hall.

The Baronial Hall may also be used as the centre of a memorable conference, with breakout spaces clustered about this central point; or provides a stunning space for dining, meetings, parties or very special weddings.

This is a flexible space which can add an extra element of magic to any event, with the optional addition of Library and medieval building tours to entertain guests during breaks and networking.
