Events coming up in Hexham
The Queen’s Hall is a
magnificent early Victorian building which faces Hexham Abbey (dating
from 647AD). From its christening as an arts centre in 1983 until the
hand over to the charitable organisation, Queens Hall Arts in 2001, the
building was under local authority control. The building is shared with Hexham
Library and the Little Angel Café, both tenants of Queens Hall Arts. Queen’s
Hall’s resident theatre company Théâtre Sans Frontières is based in offices at QHAC and
opens all of its shows in the Theatre.
Queen’s Hall Arts Centre
boasts a 350-seat theatre and two galleries all managed by Queens Hall
Arts.
The Queen’s Hall Arts Centre has established
itself as a strong base for an extensive range of artistic activity, attracting
the best international and national artists from music, drama, dance and
national touring comedy to non professional shows put on by local community
groups.
