The Corn Hall in Diss, Norfolk, is a restored Victorian music hall originally built in 1889 as a centre for agricultural commerce and entertainment. While initially serving as a marketplace for corn trading – hence the name – it quickly transitioned to hosting theatrical performances, concerts, and public meetings. Following periods of decline and closure in the 20th century, a significant restoration project was completed in 2019, revitalizing the building as a thriving arts venue.

The building retains many of its original architectural features, including ornate plasterwork and a proscenium arch stage. It now operates as an independent charitable trust dedicated to providing a diverse programme of live events including music, theatre, film screenings and community activities. The venue has a capacity of approximately 300 seated or 450 standing.
