Corn Exchange, Newbury

The Corn Exchange is an events and concert venue located in the Market Place in Newbury, Berkshire, England.

The structure, which was commissioned as a corn exchange and is now used as an events venue, is a Grade II listed building.

[2][3] The current building was designed by James Dodd in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone at a cost of £6,000 and was officially opened on 4 June 1862.

All three bays were decorated by paterae above the openings and were flanked by pairs of Corinthian order columns supporting an entablature and a pediment with a quatrefoil in the tympanum.

[8] The use of the building as a corn exchange declined significantly in the wake of the Great Depression of British Agriculture in the late 19th century.
