Invest in your future within a growing community
With a number of galleries in the Battersea area specialising in modern British and International contemporary art, Battersea Power Station has stepped up to the canvas and has announced they will invest £6.8 million in a cultural programme as part of its renovation.
The Village Hall which will be developed into a 5,000 sq ft multi-use venue will be part of Circus West, which is the first phase of the redevelopment of the power station. The plan is to transform Circus West into a village-like community, providing a diverse range of activities within the heart of the development.
The transformation will comprise of a 150-seat main hall that will be programmed with theatre, dance and comedy, as well as a smaller studio space, which can be used as a “cultural resource” for local residents. A civic institution such as this is an essential ingredient that almost every community wishes they had on their doorstep.
