The Civic is situated just off the main shopping centre. It has access to major road networks and is close to the Junction 32 shopping outlet and near to the M62. There is also a train station at Castleford.  

The building is licensed for 600 people. There are two rooms available for hire and use by members of the community and commercial purposes. It is a favourite for pantomimes, choral societies, amateur dramatic and operatic societies, local community groups, schools and business conferences.  

The Assembly Hall can accommodate 520 people downstairs and a further 80 on the balcony level. It is best used for large meetings and is ideal for shows, concerts and large parties.

The Legioleum Room is good for parties, wedding receptions and meetings.
