Empire Banqueting & Hall

Empire Banqueting & Hall is an event venue in central Aldershot, set within a former 1930s Art Deco cinema. Organisers can choose between a grand main hall and a smaller second hall, with options for both larger gatherings and more intimate occasions. The venue is available for weddings, banquets, conferences and exhibitions, as well as other private and corporate events.

For couples planning a wedding, the team can advise on timings, room layout and decoration, helping organisers shape the space around their plans. The building's period character provides a distinctive backdrop, while its lighting and sound system and access to technicians support the practical needs of an event. The venue also has its own kitchens, where food is prepared on site by its catering team.

Empire is located beside Princes Gardens in the centre of Aldershot. Aldershot railway station is within walking distance, bus stops are nearby, and a town-centre multi-storey car park provides parking close to the venue. These transport links can be useful when coordinating guest arrivals.

Event planners can contact the Empire team to discuss hiring either hall and to ask about arrangements for a particular occasion. With flexible room choices, in-house food and technical facilities, the venue offers a central setting for celebrations and organised gatherings in Aldershot.
