Reviews of Mechanics Hall

Beautifully appointed!

Fabulous! Beautifully appointed! Amazing artwork! Great event - The Dead Of Winter!

CM
Beautiful venue for great shows.

Hard to think of this amazing architecture in the heart of Worcester - it could be in any city around the world. The staff was so friendly and professional. I felt like I was stepping back into another year, very charming and elegant.

TSJ
What a wonderful way to enjoy the works of Edgar Allen Poe!

Dress for the spirit of the event. We had a lot of fun, the actors brought these stories to life through their amazing story telling! Highly recommend attending!
