The Space
The building and courtyard (a former butchers!) are ours to play with thanks to the kind generosity of Brian and Gillian Stanway.
We are part of the High Peak Welcoming Spaces – seeking to provide a warm and relaxing environment for anybody to use.
The Rooms
All spaces are available for hire and use, as are the display boards!
Kitchen – We have a small warming kitchen from where we serve plant based food food for the monthly Supper Clubs. Hot drinks and water refills always available.
Reception Space – talk to our incredible volunteers, order a drink, pick up a map, leaflet or print from a local artist.
Living Rooms – The Men’s Repair Shed have built a bench seat with tables. The central room has a sofa, bookshelf and games. We have this set up as The Littlest Theatre in New Mills, where we can host puppet shows.
Library – our biggest room for any talks, and where we have installed a local display, Flowing Together
Mine and archive – we have rebuilt the mine experience and installed storage for the archive of Brian Nolan, a local artist
Once & Future – a purpose built interactive display that shows how the local landscape has been used since the Stone Age, and what a Wild Peak future could look like
Courtyard – a cobbled delight we want to see filled with life and seating, and the site of the Lost Species public mural
Toilet - we have refitted this to improve accessibility. It is open for public use during our regular open hours
