Who we are

Wem Town hall is a bustling multi-use community arts centre at the heart of the High Street in Wem North Shropshire. We offer a little something for everyone with health and wellbeing classes, weekly cinema, live music, theatre and workshops as well as the weekly market and spaces for community events, meetings and celebrations. Our busy café serves homemade food, luxury coffees and hot chocolates as well as a fully licensed bar for all our events. We have a team of more than sixty volunteers who dedicate nearly 7000 hours a year supporting all our activities. They are always ready to stop and chat and offer the warmest of welcomes to all.

Why we need your support

Covering our core costs has been really difficult in the post covid years as prices have risen sharply. We often refer to Wem Town hall as the Tardis as you have no idea how big it is from just looking at it from the outside. Our light and heat costs alone for this year are going to be £30,000 and though we are applying for project funds all the time it is really hard to cover such high basic costs such as light and heat for all our activities. If you can offer a donation, however small, you will be helping us to continue being a community facility for all in Wem.
