History

Situated at 59 Doncaster Road, the Scunthorpe building is a former public bath house dating from the 1930s. It has served as an entertainment venue since the 1970s. It was renovated and reopened in 2005 but has since closed to undergo further refurbishment.

Bands to have played the venue include The Kinks, Status Quo, The Damned, The Bluetones and The Levellers. The late DJ John Peel regularly appeared at the hall.

The previous Conservative Council closed the Baths, intended to demolish it and replace it with private housing.In 2007, the Conservative Council was replaced by a Labour Council, who honoured their manifesto commitment to save the Baths. The Labour Council plan to rebuild the hall, retaining it's 1931 frontage, and create a modern entertainment venue. It is presently closed and major refurbishment has started, eventually costing 15 million pounds. Both Billy Connolly and the Kaiser Chiefs have said they would be happy to play there. The new venue is said to be able to seat 1500 and stand 1900 people.
