If you need somewhere in Thornbury to hold a meeting or event, the Armstrong Hall complex offers a wide range of facilities.
The original Cossham Hall was presented to Thornbury in 1888 and is suitable for small concerts, cinema screenings and meetings, with a capacity of 140, including 40 in a gallery.
The main Armstrong Hall seats around 350, and is readily adaptable for all types of functions, dances, discos, trade promotions and exibitions.
It has a stage and dressing rooms, lighting and sound equipment, cinema screen and raised seating. There are also kitchen facilities, smaller meeting rooms and a licensed bar.
A refurbished bakery forms an annexe to the main building and is available as an extra meeting or activity room.
Large numbers of local groups and organisations use the complex on a regular basis, including the Women's Institute, Townswomen's Guild, Blood Donors, Horticultural Society, Flower Club, Weight Watchers, Stamp Club, Camera Club, Northavon Youth Theatre, Age Concern, Rosemary Conley Fitness, Eastwood Gardeners Club, Choices Club for The Disabled and Country Music Club.
The complex is also the venue for part of the Thornbury Arts Festival and for productions by the Thornbury Amateur Dramactic Society and the Thornbury Musical Theatre Group.

Thursday 5th to Saturday 7th June, Armstrong Hall, Thornbury
Sounds of yesteryear and laughter will emanate from the Armstrong Hall when the Thornbury Musical Theatre Group perform an ‘OLDE TYME MUSIC HALL’, its second production in this, the group’s 40th anniversary year.
Not having done a Music Hall for many years, this will surely be popular, appealing to mixed age groups, whether it be a trip down memory lane for the older generation, or an insight into times gone by for the younger generation. Apart from songs and dances, there will be specialist acts including a magician, human ventriloquism, monologues and a melodrama, all providing great entertainment throughout the energetic and enjoyable evening. So brace yourself for a myriad of magical, marvellous, melodious moments at this evening of merriment which will have your feet tapping and your shoulders swaying, whilst tittering to the tremendous tomfoolery and terrific theatrical performances which we have in store for your delight. Sing along to the sounds of “On Mother Kelly’s Doorstep”, “Down at the Old Bull and Bush”, “You made me love you” and much, much more.
As a special addition, on opening night only, our patron, Chris Harris, the downright delightful, dynamic and legendary pantomime Dame at Bath Theatre Royal, will be performing alongside us - not to be missed!
Those wishing to dress in a style of that era will be welcomed, although this is not necessary.
Performances start at 7.30 pm and tickets, which are £7.50 on raised seating and £7 on level seating, will be on sale at Thornbury Town Hall from 12th May, or by calling 01454 853947. Alternatively, e-mail us using the link below. There will be a reduction of 50p per ticket for children under 16 and OAPs. It is advisable to book tickets in advance to ensure you are not disappointed; tickets will be on sale at the door on the night also.
So come one, come all to the Olde Tyme Music Hall and help join in the celebrations of this, our 40th anniversary year.
