Torquay Town Hall is a Grade II–listed building at Castle Circus in Torquay, Devon, which opened in 1913. During the 1960s and 1970s, it became a regular stop on the national live music circuit. The grand hall, located on the second floor, accommodates 1,200 seated attendees, with space for a further 300 in the gallery.
