HISTORY

The New Brewery Arts was formed in 1989 from the merger of The Cirencester Workshops and The Niccol Centre.

Built in 1820 as a brewery these premises continued to brew beer until 1937. After a period of use by a sheet-metal company the buildings were bought by the District Council for demolition.  A local group, however, proposed repair and conversion into craft workshops instead and Cirencester Workshops opened in 1979. Subsequently, following a bequest, the former barrel store was converted in 1984 into educational studios surrounding a theatre. Originally providing third age arts activities the centre has evolved into a provider of arts education and performance for all ages.
