The Milton Rooms is an arts centre and hub for cultural and community led activities (including theatre, comedy, dance, exhibitions, music and auctions) located in Malton, North Yorkshire, a market town in England. The complex is a Grade II listed building. [1]

The main body of the building was built in 1930 by the Fitzwilliam family over the 19th century Masonic Lodge which is still in use. The complex includes a theatre with the largest sprung dance floor in North Yorkshire, the assembly rooms and the studio bar. [2]

The assembly rooms, at the back of the complex and facing into Yorkersgate, were formerly the Literary Institute and Subscription Rooms commissioned by the Fitzwilliam family in 1814. [3]

The Milton Rooms was given its name by the Fitzwilliam family and originates from their family home Milton Hall. [4]
