The Milton Rooms

The Milton Rooms is an arts centre in Malton, a market town in North Yorkshire. The Grade II listed building stands on Yorkersgate and was built in 1930 by the Fitzwilliam family. It replaced a 19th-century Masonic Lodge that still operates inside. The complex houses a theatre, assembly rooms and a studio bar. Theatre performances, comedy shows, dance events and exhibitions take place here regularly. The Fitzwilliam family commissioned the assembly rooms in 1814 as the Literary Institute and Subscription Rooms. The theatre features the largest sprung dance floor in North Yorkshire. The name Milton Rooms comes from the family’s ancestral home, Milton Hall. The building remains a hub for cultural and community-led activities. Visitors find a busy arts venue with a theatre, assembly rooms and a studio bar. The theatre’s sprung floor suits dance performances and rehearsals. The assembly rooms face Yorkersgate and recall their 19th-century origins. The Masonic Lodge inside the building continues to meet. The space supports varied arts events throughout the year.
