The Witham Hall

Barnard Castle Vision is working with The Witham Trustees to restore and conserve The Witham Hall in the heart of Barnard Castle. 

A planning application and listed building consent application has been lodged with Durham County Council's Planning Department.  Determination is expected in February 2012. 

The newly restored and conserved Witham Hall will offer workspace for businesses, a theatre and cinema space, gallery, box office and hot desking for creative businesses.

In addition to this, the Barnard Castle library is being extended and improved and will offer a DCC customer access point. 

Barnard Castle Vision has confirmed funding from Durham County Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund.  A final funding application has been submitted for ERDF funding and this will be announced in December.  Should this funding package be confirmed, then work can begin on the restoration of this Grade 2 listed building at the heart of Barnard Castle.
