The Pyramid, designed by an award winning architect is Warrington’s centre for the arts, is steeped in history from its days as a courthouse playing host to numerous law breakers.
It was 1989 when Warrington Borough Council established that there was a very real need for a centre of art activities in the town.
The people of Warrington were asked about the type of arts injection they thought the town needed. The results of the research established that an arts centre should be in the town centre to make it more accessible, it should house performance spaces that can be used by a wide range of different people, and it should be open for people to meet and socialise freely. The plans were put together to create the basis of what is today known as Pyramid.
From town centre follow brown signs to the Cultural Quarter.
