Darlington Hall

Darlington Hall, located in the charming town of Darlington, is a historic and iconic community gathering place that exudes old-world charm and timeless elegance.

It is a cherished landmark with a rich history dating back to 1890. Its architecture and design pay homage to the heritage of the region, making it a unique and culturally significant venue.

The Hall comprises two main sections, the old original stone cellar of the former Darlington Vineyard, on the south-east side now performing a 'lesser hall' type role, and the main hall which is a brick addition built in the 1960's.
