The ‌‌‍Corn Exchange is a grassroots live-music venue at 39 Fore Street in the centre of Hertford, Hertfordshire — not London, despite the slug.

Capacity figures vary by configuration (around 250 standing per the venue's own Facebook, with some listings quoting up to 350-400). Its heritage runs deep: the room has hosted The Who, The Pretenders and The Kinks.
