Melksham is preparing to welcome a line-up of big acts to the Assembly Hall in 2026 and 2027, including former world snooker champion Dennis Taylor, former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon (formerly known as Johnny Rotten), and comedy writer and performer Dom Joly.
Dennis Taylor will bring ‘An Evening with’ to the Assembly Hall on Thursday 10th December 2026. Best known for the 1985 Black Ball Final, when he won the World Championship in a dramatic contest against Steve Davis, he is now a familiar face on BBC snooker coverage. The evening promises personal stories from his career and insight into life in the snooker world.
John Lydon, formerly known as Johnny Rotten, will appear on Wednesday 2nd June 2027 with his I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right Q&A tour. The former Sex Pistols lead singer, who later fronted Public Image Ltd and appeared on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, will share stories from his life and invite questions from the audience.
Dom Joly will visit on Saturday 19th June 2027 with the Trigger Happy TV – Live! 25th Anniversary Tour. Marking 25 years since the hidden camera show first aired, the performance will feature behind-the-scenes stories and live recreations of iconic characters and pranks, including The Great Snail and the Big Mobile Phone.
“The central venue is expanding its offering of much-loved entertainment to residents, drawing new visitors into Melksham and supporting the local economy by bringing nationally recognised artists to the Assembly Hall stage,” said a spokesperson for the Assembly Hall.
