To celebrate the 150th anniversary we also open our unique exhibition that looks back at the history of this fine old building stretching back to 1876 through to the modern day. Once a place for traders to exchange their grains it morphed into the much-loved music venue we know today. Monday 16th February is the date for your diary as the Corn Exchange throws open its doors for our Community Open Day between 11am- 5pm. This day features the opportunity to see the exhibition, explore behind the scenes and take part in free activities. The exhibition is then open 10am-2pm, Tuesday – Saturdays until Saturday 4 April.
Spring 2026 is a season that celebrates history, community and artistry. Join us!
