Bellingen Memorial Hall

Over many years the Bellingen Memorial Hall has been an integral part of the lively Bellingen culture, from the balls of old and the rock concerts of the seventies, to the Bellingen Jazz Festival origins in the nineties and the Bellingen Art Prize in the two thousands.

The Hall is used for everything from public meetings and weekly classes to plays, gigs, movies, auctions, school events and more. A wonderful array of touring acts has passed through the Hall and this, coupled with local festivals has given Bellingen a nationally recognised reputation as a cultural hub, despite it being a small country town. First established in est. 1929, the Hall features classic ‘20s architecture.

Bellingen Memorial Hall underwent significant renovations during 2022 and reopened to the public in April 2023. The venue has benefitted from a substantial audio visual upgrade and the addition of an entirely new venue, dubbed ‘Studio BMH’, offering a highly flexible performance and meeting space.

To hire to hall, contact the Venue Coordinator at Bellingen Shire Council and check the venue website for details of forthcoming events, regular classes and in-house promotions.
