Be part of something extraordinary
Over the next four years we will refurbish our building to open up all of the asset for people to enjoy. Uncovering hidden historic features and creating an Arts Centre for the future in the heart of Barnsley.
This ambitious project will reinstate the Eldon Street entrance as our main public entrance, create brand new artistic spaces within the core so we can extend our offer and reach more people and critically connect the old historic part of the building with the current arts centre.
