Dorking Halls Surrey is great as a use for conferences or meetings. Dorking
Halls was built in 1930, with input into the design from the composer,
Ralph Vaughan Williams. The venue was partly built as a home for the
Leith Hill Music Festival, which Vaughan Williams conducted, and which
is still held at the venue each year. In 1997 Dorking Halls underwent a
major refurbishment, which transformed it into a state of the art
theatre, cinema and conference venue, with comfortable seats, air
conditioning and modem technical equipment. The best features of the
original Art Deco design, however, remain in tact, and the building
retains much of the ambience and spirit of that period. The
venue is easily accessible by road, rail and bus, with railway stations
less than 10 minutes walk away and large public car parks adjacent and
nearby. The Halls also has its own Coffee Shop which is open Monday to
Saturday during the day.
