First opened in July 1913, The King's Hall is an architectural gem that manages to captivate visitors with its original Edwardian features and idyllic seafront views. It was formally known as the East Cliff Pavilion, and the venue was officially opened by Princess Henry of Battenberg, the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria. She named the new concert hall the King Edward VII Memorial Hall after her late brother. The name was later shortened to The King's Hall and the building has been the centre of much of the town's social life for over a century. In more recent years, the venue has been host to a wide range of entertainment, including live music, comedy, festival events and much more.

Venue Style: An Edwardian seafront concert hall with original period features and sea views.
Location: On the seafront at Beacon Hill, Herne Bay.
Visitor Info: Normally home to a café and the Scoops ice cream kiosk, both currently closed during the refurbishment.
