YOUR HERITAGE QUARTER

Working to raise the curtain on entertainment in the area for years to come

£6.5m will breathe new life into Colne, creating a new Heritage Quarter and town centre living as well giving Colne Market Hall a makeover. It'll put the spotlight on the town, making Colne the go-to destination for visitors to Pendle.

THE FUND

The funding will go towards bringing The Little Theatre, The Muni Theatre and Pendle Hippodrome back to their former glory, raising the curtain on entertainment in the area for years to come and making Colne an even livelier and more vibrant cultural destination.

Colne Market Hall will be refurbished with improved space for market traders and housing for town centre living will be created. This is just the beginning of a new era of growth and regeneration for Colne and everyone who loves to visit or calls it home.
