About The Milton Rooms
The Milton Rooms aims to collaborate with established and emerging artists, to make Malton a hub of excellence for the arts, in all creative fields.
With the dedication of a new, energetic team of artists and performers plans are already in place for new Artist's Studios, a Studio Theatre and an ambitious program of events for the summer of 2011.
Built by the Fitzwilliam family in 1814 for the benefit of the residents of Malton and Norton the original, now Grade II listed, Subscription Rooms played host to society balls, town meetings, music recitals and more recently to sporting, social and church events. With the addition, in 1932, of the Milton Rooms Hall and Bar the buildings became the centre of community activity with local community performing societies staging their productions here.

With the largest sprung dancefloor in North Yorkshire, the Milton Rooms will be turned into a state of the art venue for visiting productions, community events and our own in house productions.
The Main Hall is also a regular venue for auctions, sales and exhibitions.
