ABOUT VENUE
The Assembly is a stunning, Art Deco, multi-function venue in the heart of Leamington Spa. It opened its doors in the summer of 2008 after a multi-million pound redevelopment designed by Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen. The venue won the highly coveted Music Week Award for 'Best Live Music Venue' in 2010 aswell as winning the award for 'Best Live Entertainment Venue' at the 2009 and 2010 Godiva Awards.
Built in 1926, the venue was originally named The Bath Assembly Hall. Its Art Deco interior, indicative of the period, was the setting for balls and dances where the Foxtrot, Waltz and Quickstep were the moves of the moment. It was later named The Palais de Danse where local dancer, Robert Creelman, was master of ceremonies and music was provided by resident players, The Jack Southern Band. During this time, the venue was known for its own dance step; The Palais Glide and the building continued to host dances throughout the 30s and 40s when it was popular with locally-based American servicemen. Renamed again in 1952 as The Embassy Ballroom (later to inspire the Embassy Days events!), it continued to hold dances and local events until it became a bingo hall.
Now, after a period of closure, the 1000 capacity (or 400 seated) main hall, along with all of its original decorative and architectural features, has been meticulously renovated to reveal the original beauty of the room. In contrast to the work done to exhibit the history of the building, a brand new state of the art PA and lighting rig has been installed and a new stage which offers excellent sightlines throughout the venue. The combination of a sense of history and the traditional with the need for the comfort and practicality, achieved by using cutting edge technology, is why The Assembly has become the venue of choice for artists and audiences alike. This, alongside the helpful, friendly bar staff and security team, all help to provide a welcoming and safe environment to watch a show.
Once in the venue, there is a choice of 3 bars; the main bar area has comfortable, relaxed seating and is found beyond soundproofed doors, for those who want to escape briefly! Another bar is positioned conveniently to the rear of the main hall. With a seating area providing a view of the stage, this is the ideal spot to relax while still taking in the atmosphere. The third bar provides an intimate space from the balcony to grab a drink and watch the shows from above for the optimum view of the stage and audience.

TESTIMONIALS
Mel & Raj Bahey
Thank you for all your help in organising our wedding. We had THE most amazing day, made even more special by the stunning surroundings, great staff and electric atmosphere.
Rob & Samuel Langley-Swain
We were looking for a truly unique venue for our special day and The Assembly certainly did not disappoint. Not only does it look amazing and have a great atmosphere, we were able to pull out all the stops and make it our own, with a Mad Hatters Tea Party for 180 people. All of the staff went above and beyond the call of duty to make the event a great success. From creative lighting design to the friendly bar staff and hands on setting up, we couldn't have asked for more.
Millward Brown
The Assembly is the perfect venue for company parties - it's original and different and the staff make almost every request seem possible. Everyone is looking forward to our next event because they know it's a really special venue.
Wareing and Co
The Assembly provided a perfect place for our company party and with helpful staff on hand before and during the event we were free to enjoy our night.
Wright Hassall - Sat Bhandal, Partner
The Assembly proved to be the most popular of our parties yet! It's distinctive as a venue and the staff were great at "being there without crowding us", which helped it all come together and run smoothly so everyone had an amazing night. The venue looked fantastic dressed for a formal dinner and provided a brilliant atmosphere and great staging for our band. Would have no qualms about recommending as a corporate function venue.
