In response to community demand, a group of community representatives and town councillors are developing a project to create a new, flexible community and performing arts centre.

The new community and performance venue is estimated to cost £6.9 million and Burgess Hill Town Council is planning to raise this money through a combination of fundraising, grants, council reserves and a loan via the Public Works Loan Board.
