It was inaugurated in November 1932, and obtained its name in remembrance of those locals who died in World War I.[2]

It regularly hosts arts events and concerts, including live music, dance, and pantomime, workshops, and community events. It also hosts a nightclub for teenagers on Friday evenings which is very popular with the youth of the town. The main auditorium of the hall has a capacity of 886 people, 1,300 including standing.[1] Over the years, artists as diverse as PJ & Duncan and Len Rawle have performed at the hall.
