Tamworth Assembly Rooms has now reopened after a major refurbishment project.
The £5million refurbishment has brought the venue into the 21st century, while lovingly enhancing and restoring the historic features which make it such a special building.
This has included a complete change of the internal layout, apart from the main auditorium, to create an impressive, versatile building with more space that can be used for a variety of purposes.
Extensions to the side and rear have created a new multi-use space with a bar, a café, a studio/green room space and extended and improved back stage facilities. The building has also been modernised throughout with upgraded acoustics, heating and lighting, improved disabled access and more toilet facilities.
This project is kindly supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Their funding has so far supported research into the building’s past and consultation with the local community about the building’s future. The development of detailed plans to improve Tamworth Assembly Rooms and the delivery of making these plans a reality.
