The Derby Assembly Rooms is an events venue in Derby. It was built in 1977 in the brutalist style.[1][2]

The Assembly Rooms building was designed by Hugh Casson and Neville Conder.[3] It replaced an 18th-century building of the same name that burned down.[4]

The venue has seen performances by Elton John, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Take That, the Manic Street Preachers, Tony Bennett and Frankie Laine. It is also notable as the original home of Bloodstock Festival which began there as a one-day indoor event.

The building has been closed since a 2014 fire in the plant room of an adjacent multi-storey car park damaged the Assembly Rooms' ventilation system.[5] Historic England issued a Certificate of Immunity from Listing in April 2023, guaranteeing that the building would not be statutorily listed within the next five years.[6]

In October 2023 a council-led investigation was announced into why the complex had lain unused for 10 years. A council leader commented that £20million levelling up funding awarded from April 2023 was insufficient to cover demolition and replacement with a new theatre.[7]
