The Hertford Theatre Week Venue
Castle Hall opened in 1977 and brought to the town a wonderful new facility for all kinds of theatre and drama.
Since then there have been progressive modifications and refits to make the business of presenting plays easier and more professional and more pleasurable for our audiences.

| The comfortable foyer and bar area has facilities for the disabled, and we are able to make arrangements for wheelchair users in the auditorium. When rigged for theatre this seats just less than four hundred, three quarters of which are tiered ensuring good sight lines. |  |
| |
| We have a proscenium of 29'6" (9m), a maximum depth of 31' (9.5m) from the lip of the apron and approximately 39' (12m) under the grid - so flying scenery and cloths is possible. The stage is well equipped with drapes and borders, barrels and lanterns, and H.D.& O.S has good stocks of additional equipment for most situations. |
| |
 | The 72 channel Zero 88 Illusion lighting system is controlled from a well positioned and spacious control room high up at the rear of the auditorium. Sound operation is also based here. |
| |
| The well appointed dressing rooms are all fitted with loud speakers for stage-sound and calls, and the theatre has installed a headset loop to all important operating positions. |  |
