Hempstead Hall

Hempstead Hall is a conference and performing arts venue on the University of Arkansas Hope campus in Hope, Arkansas. Its 65,000-square-foot facility brings together flexible meeting spaces, a full production theatre and an amphitheatre, making it a practical option for organisers planning business, educational, cultural and community events.

Four conference suites, named Blevins, Washington, Fulton and Spring Hill, can accommodate a range of event layouts. The Blevins and Spring Hill suites can each be divided into smaller breakout rooms, while the Hope Suite provides a more intimate setting for meetings, dinners and training sessions. Organisers can enquire about hosting conferences, presentations, banquets, galas, meetings and training programmes, with venue hire arranged through the hall's event submission process.

For performances and larger gatherings, the theatre has a full production stage, advanced lighting and sound, a green room and dressing rooms. The venue is equipped for concerts, plays, speakers, dance recitals and other stage productions. An outdoor amphitheatre adds another performance setting, and the Anthony Routon Pavilion includes an air-conditioned kitchen and preparation area, along with restrooms.

A full-service catering kitchen is available for outside caterers, giving organisers flexibility over food arrangements. The Hempstead Hall team can provide information about facility use, fees and venue procedures, and help applicants begin the booking process. With both conference rooms and performance facilities under one roof, the hall serves organisers seeking a versatile venue in southwest Arkansas.
