A grand and fabulous historic venue that has played host to all manner of dinners, dances and live performances for almost a century, and after substantial investment, has opened its doors to host special events and private hire functions once again.
Located in the South Yorkshire town
of Mexborough, it is within easy
travelling distance from Doncaster,
Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield, and
Leeds, with an ideal position on rail
and road networks.
From fabulous celebrations such as
weddings, birthdays and
anniversaries, intimate family
gatherings, to corporate events, the
Empress Building is an ideal venue
for all. Our ballroom will play host to
specially organised charity functions
throughout the year, and can be
hired on an exclusive basis for you
and your celebration.
Our Businesses
Our historic building is home to several longstanding operations, including the
popular Grafters Ironworks Gym, Goa Spice Indian Restaurant, and the Dearne
Valley Personal Development Centre. We also operate a series of regular charity
events from our Ballroom, including Empress Rooms White Collar Boxing and
our Northern Souls Nights hosted by resident DJs that are reminiscent of the extremely popular all-nighters that were regularly hosted here for over a decade.
