Nestling in the heart of the seaside town of Aldeburgh in Suffolk sits the historic and much-loved Jubilee Hall. Built in 1887 by local businessman Newson Garrett to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee, the hall was intended for “concerts and dramatic entertainments provided by well-known artistes, dances for the little people on wet afternoons and for ‘the grown-ups’ in the evenings”. Ever since then the hall has offered an array of musical and dramatic performances, both amateur and professional and has also served the community as a film-theatre, dance-hall, badminton court and roller-skating rink. The Jubilee Hall is nothing if not adaptable.
At Jubilee Hall we are ambitious for our building and what goes on within it, ensuring we not only survive, but thrive, for decades to come. We work in partnership in Aldeburgh, Suffolk and beyond, from schools to businesses, from community groups to performing artists, providing excellence balanced by diversity in both programming and activities.
Before the event begins…
Step into our newly refurbished bar, a bright and welcoming space that feels just right whether you’re here for a morning talk, an afternoon concert, or a show later in the day. It’s the perfect spot to meet before an event or catch up during the interval, with a relaxed atmosphere that always feels inviting.
We proudly serve Adnams, Fishers Gin, soft drinks, plus a selection of teas, coffee and snacks. The bar opens 30 minutes before every event and remains open throughout intervals, workshops and fairs. So why not arrive a little early, take a moment to settle in, and enjoy a drink before things begin? It’s a lovely way to make your visit to Jubilee Hall feel even more enjoyable.
