The Civic

Recommended by Visit England Logo
Overview
You might think when a venue has been closed for 11 years, there might not be much interest when it reopens. No sign of that kind of thing here, because since it reopened in 2009, this lively performance space has hosted a diverse range of entertainment, exhibitions and events. For an up-to-date list of what’s on, check out the website.
Location
Hanson Street, BARNSLEY, S70 2HZ
About the area
Traditionally a steel and coal producing centre, the decline of both industries in South Yorkshire has been replaced to some extent by tourism based around the area’s beautiful Pennine countryside. The county claims part of the Peak District National Park, whose hills and dales provide welcome space for the large urban populations.
