King's Hall

King's Hall is a concert hall in Herne Bay situated near the seafront, featuring a large central performance space for various entertainment events. The building accommodates different types of shows and gatherings throughout the year.

The building opened in 1904 as East Cliff Pavilion and was renamed in 1913 as a memorial hall dedicated to King Edward VII under Princess Beatrice's patronage. This change marked its development as an established venue.

The hall has long been a place where local and professional performers present shows, bringing the community together for concerts and entertainment. It serves as a central gathering point for cultural events and performances in the area.

The venue is best accessed when events are scheduled, and visitors should check the program beforehand. The location near the beach makes it easy to explore the surrounding area before or after attending a performance.

The building was designed by architect F.W.J. Palmer with specific engineering solutions to manage its steep cliff location right by the sea. This technical feature makes it an interesting example of construction adapted to challenging terrain.
