Our colour scheme for The Town Hall.

Respecting the past. Preparing for the future.

We want The Town Hall to feel warm, welcoming and cared for again, without losing the character that makes it such a special building. Our colour scheme is about working with what’s already here, rather than trying to turn it into something it was never meant to be.

We’ve chosen Farrow & Ball’s Slipper Satin for the main walls, bringing a soft, warm backdrop to the rooms. Green Smoke will give the painted doors, panelling and principal woodwork a beautiful heritage green, with French Gray adding a gentler tone to secondary details.

School House White will be used on the ceilings, cornices and decorative plasterwork, allowing those lovely original features to stand out.

Alongside the colours, we want to retain and restore the original dark timber and historic flooring, with antique brass fittings and warm lighting bringing everything together.

Sometimes it’s those quieter details, a beautiful door handle, a carefully restored floor or the glow of a light, that make a place feel special.

For us, this isn’t about making everything look brand new. It’s about giving this wonderful building the care it deserves and creating somewhere people feel comfortable walking into, spending time in and making new memories.

What do you think of our colour scheme? We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Behind every great documentary is a team of dedicated professionals… and then there’s us lot. 😂🎥

We’ve been busy making progress on our Stories of The Town Hall documentary, and while we’re not quite ready to share the finished film with you yet, we thought it was time to introduce the team, just not in the conventional way!

So, here’s a little collection of bloopers, outtakes and questionable moments from behind the scenes.

We promise we’re much more professional than we look here… most of the time. 😉

Apparently only 22% of couples limit their venue search to a single type, according to the Bridebook Wedding Report 2026. Which works out nicely, because the Town Hall has three quite different spaces to offer.

Here are three mockups of how a wedding could look in each. There's the old courtroom, with all its original character. There's the chambers, a more immersive setting where you really do become the centre of the room. And there's the ballroom, for a traditional set up with room to celebrate.

So, what do you think? Would you be tempted by one of the building's more unusual spaces?

We believe The Town Hall should look and feel special, both during the day and after dark.

It’s not just about restoring the building itself. It’s about how it’s presented.

Thoughtful lighting to bring out the architecture.

Warm light from the windows to make it feel alive again.

Soft planting around the building.
A welcoming entrance.

And an atmosphere that makes people want to stop, look and come inside.

We want to respect the history of The Town Hall, while making it a beautiful and welcoming part of Hanley once again.

These images show some of the ideas we’re exploring.

What do you think? Would you like to see The Town Hall lit and presented like this?

We were absolutely blown away by the response to us sharing plans for The Tea Room at The Town Hall!

It's heartwarming to see just how much the people of Stoke-on-Trent share our vision and support what we're building here. Every comment, share and message means a huge amount to us, and it's a real reminder of why this project matters so much to the city.

A lot of you asked about outdoor seating for the cafe, and we listened. We're delighted to share our vision for the outdoor area too, a space we can already picture full of life on a warm summer's day, with people relaxing over a cuppa in the Town Hall grounds. We can't wait to keep bringing this vision to life, and we're so grateful to have you all along for the journey.

Watch this space for more updates as the Tea Room continues to take shape.

The Town Hall has been part of so many special moments throughout its history… but imagine what comes next.

Imagine your big day.

Walking down this beautiful historic corridor, surrounded by the people you love…

Then through the doors and into the Ballroom, ready to say “I do.”

History behind you.
Your future in front of you.

We’re starting to imagine weddings returning to The Town Hall and these incredible spaces coming alive again.

Could you imagine walking down this corridor on your wedding day?

Could this be coming to The Town Hall?

We’ve been working behind the scenes on some exciting ideas for the future of The Town Hall, Hanley.

Imagine a beautiful traditional Tea Room, great coffee, fresh cakes, light lunches and somewhere you actually want to sit, meet and spend time.

All designed to complement the character and heritage of this incredible building.

These are just concept images for now… but we want to know what you think.
