A new Arts
Centre... Development of
the former Eldridge Pope brewery has brought a once in a
lifetime chance for the town to acquire a state of the
art venue for performing and visual arts.
The former Maltings will be converted into a centre for
arts organisations and 440 seat auditorium plus a gallery
showcasing Dorset artists, a dance school, studio and
more.
The building is being given by the Brewery Square
developers to a new Maltings Trust, but some £7 million
is needed to convert and equip
it.The project is fully supported by a great many
organisations and individuals across Dorset and it is
hoped that it will be completed in time for the Olympic
events in South Dorset in 2012.
