24-AA-Maison-Dieu-1652

Welcoming Dover and the world

Standing proud in the historic town of Dover, just a stone's throw from the famous White Cliffs and Dover Castle, is the magnificent Maison Dieu, Dover's Town Hall.

This gothic masterpiece, dating back over 800 years, has recently undergone a painstaking £11 million restoration to become an outstanding events and heritage venue.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the colourful past of this exceptional Grade-I listed building, take in the splendour of its beautiful rooms, or enjoy the unique experience of socialising in a variety of impressive or more intimate spaces, from the magnificent Connaught Hall, or medieval Stone Hall, to the Courtroom, Council Chamber or Victorian gaol cells.

The Maison Dieu has been reawakened, so please do step inside and enjoy this wonderful building.

Available to hire for private or public events, please contact us for more details.

The Maison Dieu is open seven days a week for visitors unless there is a private event taking place. Please check before travelling. Closure dates will be published here in advance and on our social media channels.
