About Us

Mechanics Hall is internationally regarded as one of the world's great concert halls for its superb acoustics and inspirational beauty. Regionally, it is considered to be Worcester's finest meeting place.

19th-century elegance, modern amenities, superior acoustics and red carpet service combine to make Mechanics Hall a superb venue for performances, recording sessions, weddings and galas, business events and more.

Mechanics Hall is ideally located in the heart of New England--Worcester, Massachusetts. Worcester is 40 minutes from Boston and Providence; an hour from Hartford and 3 hours from New York City.

The Worcester Mechanics Association built Mechanics Hall in 1857 to create a forum for creativity, innovation, and culture. At Mechanics Hall, we strive to create an inclusive environment that is accessible and welcoming to the greater Worcester community and beyond. Our goal is to provide an environment that is reflective of the many voices of the community.

The Hall is a not-for-profit 501 (c ) 3 organization owned and operated by the Worcester County Mechanics Association (est. 1842). It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
