Cannon Hall North Range Refurbishment

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (the Council) is looking to establish a contract for the refurbishment of Cannon Hall North Range into a training venue and provision of some additional container space on site. The Council have been successful in obtaining further funding from the Wolfson Foundation, who award grants to support and promote excellence in education, science & medicine, heritage, humanities & the arts and health & disability, which fits well with the desire to convert the interior of this once derelict Georgian building, into a viable training centre for young people to learn about horticulture, pottery and the arts. The potential provision of works to supply and install two shipping containers on the site, which is subject to funding being secured, will provide Museums services with additional space to be used as a workshop and storage for the repair and maintenance of park furniture, storage of tools and machinery used daily for the purposes of maintaining the parkland.
