About this space

Over the years, it’s been a backdrop for visual art exhibitions and live performances to family-friendly workshops, community dinners, film screenings, and creative residencies. The open-format layout, gallery-style lighting, and long expanses of gallery-ready walls lend themselves perfectly to artists, educators, organisers, and small enterprises alike.

The space comfortably accommodates 55 guests and includes: tables, chairs, display plinths, toilet facilities, and a ground-level entrance with universal access.

Just a short ride from the City Centre and easily reached by public transport.
