The Warehouse Arts Centre partnership is refurbishing a heritage building in the town, providing work for local tradespeople. We are employing young local creatives in a variety of roles, and providing opportunities for local and regional talent to develop and thrive. We will collaborate with other local businesses where we complement each other, optimising benefits for the town. Our aim is to offer a high quality accessible, sustainable, ethically run enterprise that will flag Southport as a cultural destination.
This campaign is simply to raise funds to professionally kit out the kitchen so that we can offer good food to customers and visiting artists. Your donations will put the icing on the cake.
