About

Its marble façade, Corinthian columns, and intricate sculptural programme showcase the finest Victorian craftsmanship. Today the hall hosts world‑class concerts, theatrical performances, weddings and a wide range of public events, while its museum‑style ground floor offers guided tours of the historic interior.
