University of Wolverhampton at The Halls is a music and live events venue located in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England. Formerly known as Wolverhampton Civic Hall, the venue has long been recognized as one of the most prominent live music destinations in the region. Since March 2024, the University of Wolverhampton has held the naming rights to the venue, following a partnership with the institution. The Halls comprises two distinct performance spaces: the larger Civic Hall, where events may be listed as University of Wolverhampton at The Civic Hall, and the smaller-capacity room the Wulfrun Hall, listed as University of Wolverhampton at The Wulfrun Hall. The venue is owned by City of Wolverhampton Council, operated by AEG Presents and is a Grade II listed building. The hall, which was designed by Lyons and Israel in the Classical style was completed in May 1938. The smaller Wulfrun Hall had been inspired by the architecture of the Stockholm Concert Hall. It was officially opened by the Earl of Dartmouth on 12 May 1938. Jack Hylton and his orchestra provided the entertainment for the occasion. Queen Elizabeth II visited the Civic Hall and had lunch with civic leaders during a visit to the West Midlands on 24 May 1962. It was renovated and extended to a design by Penoyre & Prasad in 2001. The venue was reconfigured to create the new Slade Rooms in March 2010. City of Wolverhampton Council announced plans for a revamp of the Civic Halls with a budget of £10.4 million in March 2015.
