Scala, Worcester’s new arts centre, will bring people together to enjoy, imagine and cultivate a more creative future for the city.

Scala’s vision is to be a centre for creativity in Worcester City Centre, where everyone feels welcome.

Two historic buildings, the Scala Theatre, a former 1920s cinema, and the Grade II listed Corn Exchange are being brought back to life, supported by grants from Levelling Up and High Street funds, to regenerate & transform Angel Place.

Scala will provide Worcester with three new studio spaces and a food and drink offer. Angel Place will become a destination for outdoor events, while digital and online content will help us reach new audiences and connect communities across the city. Scala will be a dynamic new creative destination at the heart of Worcester city centre.

Scala has been incorporated as a charity working in partnership with Worcester City Council.  The regeneration of Angel Place, Scala & The Corn Exchange will connect with The Arches to become the Creative Quarter in Worcester, offering employment opportunities and a new home for artists and companies.

Scala will use the arts and collaboration to help regenerate the City. Scala’s purpose as a charity – creative connection – was shaped by leading artists and companies from the city. Now, with a creative leadership team and a board of trustees in place we’re preparing to open the doors and open the project to artists, emerging creatives, participants and audiences.

Scala is proud to be part of Local Voices, Creative Choices.
