Contractors are on site at the Palmyra Square building, with works now commencing. The anticipated completion of the £4.9m project is late Summer 2025.
Pyramid is run by the arts charity Culture Warrington and owned by Warrington Borough Council and the shared vision is to create a modern, accessible and flexible arts and culture hub with greater capacity, which will serve Warrington’s diverse communities for generations to come.
While the Palmyra Square building is now closed to the public until the completion of works, Culture Warrington is working hard on plans to deliver an exciting interim events programme.
A temporary ‘pop-up’ venue in the town centre will be set up in the near future, delivering Pyramid’s box office, performances and other services. Further details will be provided on this very soon.
Cllr Tony Higgins, Warrington Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for communities, culture and leisure, said: “Pyramid Arts Centre has played a crucial in Warrington’s cultural scene for many years, so it’s really exciting that it’s about to begin a brand new era, thanks to this fantastic project.
“The revamped Pyramid will be a huge asset for Warrington, in the heart of our cultural quarter. It will provide a flexible, accessible, and fit-for-the-future facility, which will cater to a diverse range of artists, performers and audiences and help drive cultural growth in our town for future generations.
