The Civic is located in the heart of Barnsley, a short walk away from the Transport Interchange and the many public car parks, making it an ideal venue for business, commercial and private hire events.


With The Assembly Room, meeting rooms, Gallery and Foyer areas, The Civic can provide a dramatic and memorable venue for conferences, events, meetings, presentations, training, corporate entertaining and more...

We are a multi-storey, multi-purpose arts centre seeking to bring wide-ranging, contemporary artforms to appreciative audiences from Barnsley and beyond. As a proud supporter of the arts in South Yorkshire, The Civic showcases high-quality performances and exhibitions not usually associated with a centre of its size or regional location, and is instrumental in bringing world-class touring theatre, music and arts groups en route to larger UK cultural centres and other venues around the globe.
