Local people from across South Devon are being invited to come along to two information events being held by the trustees of Pavilions Teignmouth, the new arts and community centre.

On Sunday 13 September from 3-5pm at the Teign Heritage Centre there will be a chance to hear all the latest about progress with the centre currently under construction. A short presentation by the trustees at 3.10pm will be followed by the opportunity to ask questions.

A drop-in event is also being held on Wed 16 September at the Methodist Church Hall from 3.30pm - 7.00pm. The Trustees will be available to talk about different aspects of the project such as volunteering, hiring spaces, putting on events and the activities being planned by the Trust.

Margaret Davidson, Chair of Trustees, said: “This is a chance to find out more about the centre, what we are planning and how people can get involved. We want to meet people from across the spectrum, artists and performers but also locals who want to use the centre and help run it.”
Work started on Pavilions Teignmouth in February 2015. The multi-million pound arts and community centre, being built by Teignbridge Council, is due to open in Spring 2016. The centre will be run by a charity.

Pavilions Teignmouth will be able to stage theatre and cinema in the 218-seater auditorium and have the ability to live broadcast national artistic events such as opera, theatre and ballet. The raked seating can be folded away so the auditorium space is also available for events including weddings, festivals, fairs and conferences.

There will be smaller studios suitable for dance and other activities. The gallery space will be home to the visual arts providing display space for local artists. There are seven offices to let for start up and small businesses as well as a meeting room and the cafe/bar.
