About Martlets Hall
Martlets Hall was a community arts and events venue in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, serving as a hub for theatre, concerts, and local gatherings since 1972. The venue featured a Main Hall with theatre seating up to 360, plus additional rooms like Phoenix (~45 seats) and Griffin (~50 seats) to accommodate meetings, workshops, and small performances. While the site underwent redevelopment and the hall was demolished in 2019, the location remains a focal point in the town’s cultural landscape, adjacent to the Martlets Shopping Centre.
