Ossett Town Hall

Ossett Town Hall is a civic building with twelve bays, decorated with columns and topped by an octagonal cupola with a lead dome. The interior contains offices, a council chamber, and a public hall that can accommodate over 1,300 people.

The building was constructed between 1905 and 1908 using public donations and served as the headquarters of Ossett Borough Council until 1974. It is protected as a Grade II listed building.

The public hall with its large gallery served as a gathering place for civic celebrations, concerts, and community events. It remains a space where townspeople come together for festivities and meetings.

The building is easily found along the town's main street and offers access to its public spaces. Visitors should check ahead to find out which areas are open for events or special occasions.

In July 1912, King George V and Queen Mary visited the building and spoke with civic leaders outside the entrance. This royal visit was a significant moment in the town's history.
