For a start there’s the building, a beautiful old town hall, whose 80 rooms have seen so much over the years. Now that we are an arts centre, people come here to be creative, see a show, explore local heritage, visit the Scratch Bar, play or relax.

We invite you in to watch early versions of shows, to hear your feedback. We call this Scratch. Finished shows can use any room in the building, from the attic to the artists’ bedrooms to the Council Chamber.

We are open all day for anyone to explore. Children and adults can play together in our indoor playspace, The Bees Knees or enjoy our monthly fun-filled Family Saturdays. Young people come here after school to develop their creativity, confidence and enterprising ideas. We also celebrate the rich heritage of our building and the local area through events and discussions.

A light and airy space on the first floor, separated into a main space and ante room. Is ideal if you want to split activities, or make one area a cloakroom or a childrens' zone, with a bar and catering in the main space.

    Visited an Arabic Calligraphy display with friends and felt overwhelmed by the quality of quality of display. It was mind blowing! Staff of site was so friendly and we enjoyed a hot drink in a warm friendly cafe. Looking forward to visit often.

    Really stunning large venue space that does an array of events. I absolutely love what they've done with the venue after the fire and it's such a stunning restoration after the tragedy. If you're having a large wedding, it's a great venue. There's plenty of indoor space for guests and you have such stunning light pouring through the building. Can't recommend it enough! I've attached some photos of the wedding I photographed here to give you an idea of the space and how lovely it photographs.
