The Council is hosting two public consultation events on the planned transformation of the venue on Eastern Lane:
The events will take place in the Henry Travers Studio at The Maltings on:
Saturday, 20 July from 11am – 1pm
Wednesday, 24 July from 4pm – 7pm
The new venue will be an iconic multi-purpose cultural and entertainment complex and deliver a major transformation of the current venue and its impact on the town and surrounding area.
At these events visitors will be able to see the latest designs and proposed facilities including:
- A whole new look and feel
- A new theatre auditorium
- Two cinemas
- A new café / bar
- Accessibility and decarbonisation improvements
Council Leader Glen Sanderson said: “We are fully committed to this new multi-million pound investment, which will bring extra visitors and spending to the town and deliver a significant boost to the local economy.
“We hope as many people as possible can come along to have their say on the latest proposals or get involved online in this exciting and transformational development.”
The Maltings work is the latest in a number of major investments in the town over recent years – from a new £23m leisure centre, a £4.2million project to create a thriving cultural hub at Berwick Barracks and a new Culture and Creative Zone, further raising Berwick’s profile as a centre for creative activity in the north east.
For those who can’t make it along to the events, there’s an opportunity to take part in an online survey at nland.cc/BerwickMaltings FROM July 19th – until 5pm on Friday 2nd August.
