About
The Malt Cross is a building in Nottingham, England. It is situated on St James Street in Nottingham city centre, off the Old Market Square. The building was built in 1877 and is one of only a few Victorian music halls still standing. It was a café bar that hosted live music events until its closure on 18 July 2018.
On 15 August 2018 it was announced that the Malt Cross would re-open in September as a result of a new partnership between the existing trustees and the Nottinghamshire YMCA.
The building takes its name from a monument that used to be in the market square and was a gathering place for many people. William Howie Wylie noted that "John Nelson, a Yorkshire stonemason and one of Wesley's earliest followers, preached once in the market place and once at the Malt Cross."
