The Town Hall has not been used for cinema exhibition for very many years, but it is now in use for many entertainments which require a large audience and commodious stage, plus a flat floor for dancing. It has permanent theatre seating in the large balcony. There is also a sizeable hall on the ground floor. The Parade is a very sophisticated restaurant and shopping strip comparable with any that I have seen in the U.S.A., the U.K. or Europe.
