Derby Hall, Grade II listed Victorian building in Market Street, Bury, England.
Derby Hall features a central Venetian window, pedimented portico, four attached columns, and ashlar construction with horizontal rustication on the ground floor.
The building, designed by architect Sydney Smirke, opened on November 6, 1850, with a concert attended by 600 people in the central assembly room.
Since 1979, Derby Hall functions as The Met, operated by Bury Metropolitan Arts Association, presenting theater productions and musical performances throughout the year.
The three arched doorways on the ground floor lead to different sections of the building, with the right section containing the main performance spaces.
On April 8, 1980, a Joy Division concert at Derby Hall ended in disorder when audience members reacted to singer Ian Curtis's absence.
