Completed Staveley Hall restoration project set to regenerate the town

Staveley Town Council is delighted to announce that the refurbished Staveley Hall is now open.

The £4.8 million refurbishment on the Grade II listed hall was funded, in the main, by European Regional Development funding, Heritage Lottery funding and directly by Staveley Town Council.

The first floor of the historic building, now contains 9 first class office units fitted with high speed broadband, whilst the ground floor facility is set to be used for meetings, weddings and other organised events.  To facilitate larger events there is also the option of using the external air hall, a £150,000 inflatable marquee that seats up to 90 people.

The first phase of the project saw the refurbished stables block open in 2014 and the mix of 11 office units and workshops are now fully occupied.

Chris Ludlow, Leader of Staveley Town Council, stated:-

“I am delighted that Staveley Town Council has successfully delivered this restoration project for the people of Staveley and the surrounding region. Community use will be high on our agenda and this is another building block in the regeneration of the town.”
