The Darlington Arts Centre has just been given a modern, fashionable and much needed refurbishment, making it now look great inside whilst keeping the beautiful old building on the outside in tact! The Arts Centre is at the heart of many community events, including Darlington Community Carnival, and offers a variety of activities for many people. There is a small cinema, theatre and cafe which means it is a great cultured place to visit. It also holds a number of Arts, dance and creative classes and workshops. Always worth seeing what is going on at the Arts Centre as there is normally something to suit everyone, you can now grab a coffee and scone in a relaxing environment whist scimming through a programme of events!

Darlington Arts Centre has just been refurbished and the new cafe is very trendy chic. With it's orange retro chairs and other funky furnishings it's new look is fab. I've tried the food out twice and both times my meals were really tasty. I've had the club sandwich and the tuna melt baguette and would recommend both. The staff are also very nice and friendly, especially the blonde haired lady. Altogether my experiences have been good with very little to complain about, it's an excellent lunch time treat.

Darlington Arts Centre is a really great place for art lovers or people having a social gathering. It is situated next to the Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College so often accommodates a lot of young people. It is also by the park so is a great place to visit in the summer.
Allsorts of things go on such as small plays, exhibitions and social events. It also has a room available to rent for functions and a couple of nice bars.
