The arts venue replaces Ferneham Hall after a build which was delayed by the impact of the pandemic but has been progressing steadily over the past two years. It boasts an 800-seat main auditorium as well as two smaller studios which will allow it to host shows and events, as well as film screenings.
The ground floor also has a cafe which will be open during the day for passing visitors, and upstairs there is a bar area for the venue’s patrons.
