Fairfield Halls is an arts, entertainment and conference centre in Croydon, London, England, which opened in 1962 and contains a theatre and gallery, and a large concert hall regularly used for BBC television, radio and orchestral recordings. Fairfield Halls closed for a £30 million redevelopment in 2016,[1] and reopened in 2019.[2][3][4] As part of the building's re-opening Talawa Theatre Company relocated to the building, taking up a 200-seat theatre space and offices.[5][6][7]

Although the venue has been a major venue for professional music, plays, musicals, stand-up comedy and classical music, a significant proportion of Fairfield's programme has been for community events. It was frequently used by local schools as the venue for their annual choral concerts, as well as being regularly used by local music, opera, amateur dramatic and religious organisations. The Concert Hall features a cinema with Croydon's largest cinema screen.

In 2021, Fairfield Halls was used as a mass vaccination centre as part of the COVID-19 vaccination in the United Kingdom.[8]
