The Cornbow Hall in Halesowen will now be known as Halesowen Town Hall as part of plans to raise the profile and visibility of the venue.

This forms part of an overall rebrand of the borough’s Town Halls, which will mirror the rebrand of borough leisure centres under the single ‘DB Leisure’ umbrella.

A new website promoting all three venues under the one overarching banner will also be created, making it easier for customers to book show tickets or hire the halls. Councillor David Stanley, cabinet member for regeneration and enterprise, said:

"The hall is located in the heart of the town, but suffered from a lack of signage and presence. "We hope the rebranding and new signage will increase its visibility and elevate its profile as an entertainment venue alongside Dudley and Stourbridge Town Halls.

"We now need local people to get behind it. They can do that by supporting upcoming events, or considering hiring the hall for private functions or as a venue for a community event."

The hall has a number of events lined up over the next few months including Black Country comic, Jonny Cole and Wet Wet Wet frontman, Marti Pellow on Thursday October 26th.
