Accessed through the new entrance on Hanson Street, below the Barnsley Clock, visitors ascend a magnificent staircase which dramatically spans 3 floors in a single flight. The stonework and striking windows create a contemporary space whilst retaining the beauty of the original building. Offering a brand new performance space, the Assembly Room is a highly flexible environment that can be used to support almost any type of entertainment or event. Adjacent to the Assembly Room is the Panorama. With stunning views over Mandela Gardens and the borough beyond, the Panorama can host smaller more intimate events and is the perfect place to meet, relax and enjoy activities at The Civic.

Within the Creative Design Extension, a contemporary addition to the old building, is The Gallery@ a contemporary exhibition space, meeting rooms and 10 Creative Workspaces, designed to be a home for Barnsley’s up and coming artistic and cultural industries. The workspaces, are suitable for a range of creative businesses, offering various opportunities for joined up working with likeminded organisations.

The Civic entertainments programme provides events to suit the tastes of the most discerning patron, so whether visiting the Gallery@ to view the exhibitions, the Assembly Room to experience contemporary drama, dance, comedy or the brightly coloured extravaganzas of music, puppetry and special effects the family performances offer.
