Site Description

The redevelopment of Watford Colosseum and the Town Hall, both Grade II listed buildings, will generate significant investment for the town and promote regeneration. 

Investment in Watford Colosseum will enable global leisure operator, AEG Presents, to bring the very best of entertainment to the town, paving the way for the venue to contribute nearly £2m to the local economy each year, along with around 100 jobs plus a range of volunteering opportunities.

Town Hall investment will transform the building into a hub for both the community and businesses, with uses including a new location for Watford Museum and dedicated space for entrepreneurs and start-ups.

To complement this, the council is working to secure public and private funding to deliver new homes and mixed-use development to regenerate this northern part of the town centre.
