Doncaster Corn Exchange, Victorian corn exchange in Doncaster, England
The Doncaster Corn Exchange features five bays facing the Market Place, with a central doorway framed by red sandstone Doric columns and rusticated ground floor details.
The current structure, designed by William Watkins in neoclassical style, replaced an 1844 building and opened its doors on April 17, 1873 after three years of construction.
Winston Churchill and composer Edward Elgar performed at this venue, which later transformed from a grain trading center into a municipal restaurant and dance hall.
The building now houses ten retail units on the ground floor, a mezzanine with multi-use seating, and a central space for markets and entertainment events.
Following a £5 million renovation in 2024, the structure can accommodate over 400 people and includes new LED lighting, heating systems, and gallery flooring.
