A history of the Art House 🎨✨

Built on the site of Worcester’s County Prison, the Art House has seen many transformations. From a car garage, to a carpet warehouse, to furniture showroom, this Grade II listed building has been refurbished into a vibrant and creative hub for our Arts courses.

💡Did you know that there used to be a tunnel linking the former Prison to the former Infirmary (now our Charles Hastings building)?
