Tenterden Town Council news

Contractors will be handing the Town Hall back to the Town Council in early June, marking a major milestone in the project. Throughout June, we’ll be busy getting everything ready—completing health & safety checks, moving staff back in, and restoring fixtures and furnishings. There’s a lot to do, but the building is looking absolutely fabulous!

The Town Hall will reopen to the public for general enquiries and day-to-day access this summer. A programme of reopening events will follow, giving residents and visitors the opportunity to experience the renewed Town Hall and celebrate its return to the heart of our community. 🏛️✨
