History
A 200 year old pub, in 2009 friends Jonny Booth and Rupert Hill took ownership of The Castle Hotel and set about bringing the decrepit building back to life. After an period of restoration which saw the infamous leaky roof replaced and the pub’s entire interior sympathetically brought back in line with its rich heritage, the renovation was completed in October 2010 with the grand unveiling of the new Music Hall and Theatre at In The City 2010.

Band Benefits
Again, promoters will other their own benefits. The venue is amazing though. Particularly good for bands who like small, full rooms rather than big empty ones. They also have a fine array of Ales.
