19/03/26-The LONG ACRE ARTS CHARITY– Paul O’Neil
Tonight’s speaker Paul, recently retired from the NHS and has become a Trustee of the Jan Parnham Trust.
Jan is a lady who has lived in Bingham and has owned the Arts Centre on Main Rd for a number of years. The Centre was originally built as a school in 1841 and has had various uses over the years mainly to do with art in some way including being used as a cinema, art gallery, creative centre, a picture framing facility and a Spiritual Church!
In 2024 Jan decided to renovate the building and then donate it through a Trust to the people of Bingham for use as an arts and wellbeing Community Centre.
The Long Acre Arts Centre opened in June 2025 as a fully refurbished facility which provides a whole range of opportunities including
- Artist led workshops · Regular Art & Craft Groups
- Live Theatre · Chess
- Movie Nights · Mood & Food
- Live Music · Creative and drama Groups for children
- Yoga · Artisans Fair
The main challenges that they face are fund raising and that all their staff are volunteers with varying degrees of available time. DE
