A group of residents are asking the council if they can turn the currently vacant Old Town Hall on the High Street into an arts based community hub. The likelihood is that the local council will give it to the group at a peppercorn rent until they are up and running (if they can prove its needed).
If you are interested in using the space for exhibitions, selling crafts etc, renting workspaces or running workshops, get in touch via the website.
The hub will be not for profit and any rents/profit share will be at a rate affordable to all. They plan to run a couple of craft retro fairs to get some initial funds at the beginning of July this year.
At a later stage they want to pay a manager to run the building. The hope is it will be open 7 days a week all day and evening.
You can attend weekly meetings about the hub at 6.30pm on Mondays at Old History House, 21 Courthouse Street.
