Worcester arts venue receives planning consent
A new multi-purpose arts venue in Worcester has been given the green light by council planners.
The BBC reports that Worcester City Council’s planning committee unanimously granted permission for the full redesign and internal refurbishment of the Scala and Corn Exchange buildings to create three multi-use spaces.
The Stage will host live performances, comedy and gigs, The Screen will host films, including independent film festivals, immersive events, dance and workshops and The Box will be a space for digital experiences.
The city council's Managing Director, David Blake, said the new venue would "attract new audiences and allow creative communities to thrive".
