This renovation is about more than modernising the building; it’s about creating a vibrant, inclusive space for performances, exhibitions, and social connection.
The building will see a café and bar installed at its front, an expansion of its foyer, and upgrades to the performance space to improve lighting and sound.
Retractable seating is to be installed in the centre’s auditorium, allowing for a flexible use of space. Improvements will also be made to boost the building’s accessibility and sustainability credentials.
Heywood is one of the 55 areas across the country that received £20m in funding from the Towns Fund to support their regeneration.
