Crescent Gardens

This building was formerly the municipal offices and incorporates sections of the earlier Victoria Baths. The building is located in an area rich in landmark buildings which include: the Mercer Art Gallery, the Royal Pump Room Museum, the Royal Hall and the Royal Baths.​

The Civic Society, along with some of the other voluntary organisations in the town, is promoting the idea of establishing a Cultural Quarter, centred around a ‘Hub‘ in the central section of the building.

The development of a Hub within the Crescent Gardens building would provide a cultural centre for public benefit and enjoyment, which would contribute to the rich and varied cultural scene through an understanding of our past, creating a legacy for the long term benefit of the community and visitors alike.
