The Shire Hall Gallery is a central location in Stafford that enables the community to engage in the arts. If it is shut we will lose a valuable space that provides a range of services for the local community and supports many vulnerable people.

Among many other services the building is home to:

• an exhibition space for contemporary art 
• a craft shop that supports British craft makers
• a multi sensory room used by families with young children and people with disabilities 
• a calm environment that is utilised by mental health support groups
• the historical courtroom and holding cell both of which have been used for film and television work on major networks
• artist lead workshops

We would like the review of the use of the Shire Hall building to keep the services currently available in place and to improve them. We would like it to be a participative process that allows staff and the wider public to have their say on the future of such a valuable asset to the community.
