Opening soon and it’s official, we’re a charity!

Charity Status - after many months of supplying evidence and the trustees needing to demonstrate the charitable aims of the organisation, the Jan Parnham Trust, which will run Long Acre Arts was officially granted charitable status by the Charity Commission at the end of April. Named after Jan Parnham who has gifted the refurbished building to the charity and remains a driving force behind it, the trust will run Long Acre Arts providing a range of creative and wellbeing activities for the benefit of people of Bingham and beyond.

Open House - There will be an opportunity between the building handover and it coming into use for the general public to have a look round and see the finished building and find out a little more about our future plans. See the flyer above for details.

Building nears completion - The building will be complete on 15th May 2025 (or within a day or two of that!). The building will be available for use from the beginning of June and we have some bookings already in the diary. See below for a few photos as the building work enters its final phase.
