Eccles Community Hall

ECCLES COMMUNITY HALL ORGANISATION – ECHO

Eccles Community Hall Organisation is a charity founded in July 2010 by local volunteers to support Salford City Council in regenerating Eccles town centre. The hall was refurbished to provide a substantial space in the town centre for a range of activities including community events, exhibitions, musical performances, charitable fund-raising and conferences.

The Hall has a seating capacity of up to 280. No facility of comparable size exists in the local area. There has been a process of continuous improvements to the facility, including new stage lighting and new seating in the balcony for up to 60 people.

In previous years we have held art exhibitions, craft fairs and concerts by a range of performers including Salford Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Eccles Borough Band, Eccles Community Choir, several Big Bands and performances by local musicians. All events are fully accessible with wheelchair ramps and a lift to the Hall itself. We have a licensed bar in a good sized room o the ballroom.

The hall was forced to close during the pandemic but provided a vital facility for Covid testing. However, we reopened in May 2022 and have held many events since then including performances by local music school pupils and poetry readings by Christopher Eccleston and Maxine Peake.
