About the Business
Welcome to the Watford Colosseum, a magnificent establishment and point of interest that has been at the heart of cultural and community life in Watford for over a century. Located on Rickmansworth Road, Watford Colosseum is one of the most iconic buildings in the town, known for its stunning architecture and rich history.
The venue has a diverse history, having served many purposes during its lifetime. Originally built in 1938 as a concert hall and theatre, it has since been used as a cinema and even as a facility for war-time manufacturing. However, its true calling was always as a home for culture and entertainment, and so in the 1980s the building underwent a major refurbishment to restore it to its former glory.
Now, the Watford Colosseum has become a hub for cultural events and entertainment, attracting visitors from all over the UK and beyond. The venue is renowned for its stunning acoustics, which has made it a favourite among musicians and performers worldwide. It has hosted some of the biggest names in music, from Elton John to U2, and has also been used as a filming location for popular TV shows and movies.
In addition to music and theatre performances, Watford Colosseum also offers a range of other facilities, including conference rooms, meeting rooms and exhibition spaces. These spaces are perfect for corporate events, weddings, and other social gatherings, and can be tailored to your specific needs.
Whether you are a music lover, culture enthusiast, event planner or business owner, Watford Colosseum has something for everyone. So why not come and explore this stunning establishment and point of interest for yourself? We look forward to welcoming you soon!
Reviews
"My 1st visit to this iconic venue and it didn't disappoint. We went to see Ben Fogle talking about his life experiences which was excellent. A little wait at the bar service but friendly service. The stage is nice and high for a clear view from any seat. Lovely visit."
"Incredible venue for Live music. Had the honour of playing violin on stage here and the accoustics are world-class."
"This is a very lovely charming venue. Has a lot of character.Seating at the rear where the seats are tiered are great. Compact and quaint venue. Enjoyable. Great bar with good bites."
"Easy to find with a drop off zone off the dual carriageway. Parking is behind the building but you have to pay on any day at any time (£2.50 on Sunday evening). Poor queuing system. Good range of drinks at the bar outside the auditorium but a little expensive naturally. Seats are basic but quite comfortable."
"Thanks to Jane Kirk and the team at Watford Colosseum for the use of their wonderful facilities in The Forum, where we held our A Little Bit Of Google Goes A Long Way workshop last week. The Forum was perfect for our needs, with a great technical team on hand for any problems. Nothing was too much trouble and the coffee was really good! A great venue to hire out for workshops and conferences, thoroughly recommend. Many thanks from Team Mustard"
