Registered Charity No: 1115084

Our mission is for people to be in the driving seat of their community events and cultural experiences.

We believe it is critical that our community has a place to come together. Our spaces play a crucial role in our city’s cultural ecology. It is everyone’s right to create and take part in community life and culture, in all its diversity. We make that happen.

Queer by Gum Craft Club

At the heart of the Gregson is Lancaster’s only community run bar and cafe. It’s a far cry from what you’d find in most cultural buildings.  It is honest and warm hearted and a social hub in its own right.

We are a meeting place of people, ages and cultures. We're a place to create, to think, to drink and to dance. We're not dedicated to one artform, and believe our community knows what is relevant to them. Our spaces are currently home to 50 regular groups and a range of cultural and community events and celebrations.
