Our Address: Braise, Empire House, Lewisham Road, Slaithwaite, HD7 5AL
Empire House in Slaithwaite is a historic building with roots dating back to 1892. Originally constructed as a town hall, it has served various functions throughout its long history, including a stint as an office for a fashion exhibition organizer. During its years of service, the building even housed an underground air-raid shelter. After undergoing significant renovations, Empire House was transformed into a luxury business members' club. The refurbishment, revitalised the space, now featuring meeting rooms, office space and our bar and kitchen while preserving its historical charm.
