THE MALTINGS 01353 662 633 | www.themaltingsely.org.uk The Maltings was built in 1868 as part of Ebenezer William Harlock’s brewery complex on Ely’s Waterside, where locally grown barley was processed into malt for brewing. The hall was originally on three separate floors, where barley was added to water and then stored on the first and second floors before being passed to the drying kiln, which is now home to a stage. The building passed through various ownerships, and in 1971, the building was made available to the ‘City of Ely Urban District Council’ for a minimal cost, who converted it into a public hall. The restaurant area was separated from the rest of the building and is now home to Ta Bouche. The Maltings building itself soon returned to operation as the venue you see today and continues to grow its activities. As well as being ideal for wedding receptions, The Maltings is also licensed to host your ceremony in its beautiful riverside setting. The team endeavours to create bespoke packages to suit your individual requirements and budget; whether you would prefer an intimate gathering, an informal party, or a traditional wedding breakfast, they are happy to assist you throughout the whole experience to ensure your special day is memorable and stress-free.

Relax on comfy, classic chairs while enjoying the punts go by with a beer or cocktail from the Garden Bar.
