The Arlington Ballrooms

The rejuvenation of the former Arlington Rooms sees the welcome return of a cultural hotspot to our area. Re-named The Arlington, due to the large singular central ballroom, it renders itself not only as a more accurate portrayal of the venue, but a more sophisticated one at that. The building dates back to the roaring 20’s ‘Art Deco’ and ‘Jazz’ era. It was originally built as a music hall, where local residents could dance and listen to live music. A popular past time back then and currently experiencing a strong revival today. Over the years, The Arlington has had various owners, changing hands many times, yet never quite reaching it’s former glory days. Over time, it had lost its charm and become quite tired.
