ABOUT US
This includes a whole range of entertainment; from tribute and original musical acts, pantomimes, ballets, choir, band and dance school events, comedy shows and local community theatre.
Built as the Assembly Hall for Penistone in 1914, the Penistone Paramount celebrated its 110th year entertaining audiences in November 2024.
The building is still owned by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council but the business is operated by Penistone Town Council, and run by a team of dedicated staff.
