Penrith Town Hall to become cultural hub

To support community well-being and stimulate the local economy, Eden District Council is proposing an additional investment package in local arts and culture. The investment is intended to strengthen and showcase the district's vibrant cultural life and help bring communities together.

As part of this investment and Eden District Council's move to a single site at Voreda House, a vision is being set out for the future of its building at the Town Hall.  Plans are in the works to reimagine the Town Hall as a physical hub for an economic and cultural renaissance in Penrith.  

In the coming months, the building will be used as an arts and culture testbed, with small-scale events taking place and partners invited to programme the space to test new ideas and invite participation in the arts. 

The first of these events is a performance of SWIM a play by Cumbrian writer and performer Liz Richardson taking place on Wednesday 20 April.
