At Barnsley Civic, the arts are for you. Whether you’re here to create, connect, or enjoy and share new experiences, this is where you belong. We tell stories, embrace creativity, and celebrate the culture that makes our community special. Whether you’re watching a show, exploring an exhibition, or joining an event, our doors are open.
Come in — it’s your space, your culture, your Barnsley Civic.
Our year-round programme blends internationally acclaimed works, national collections, and Yorkshire-based artists. Explore exhibitions and events that make art accessible to everyone, celebrate emerging voices, and spark meaningful conversations.
We have launched a National Lottery Community Fund supported project called Young Civilians, as we ask young people in Barnsley, what arts and culture meant to them.
