The barn has recently been fitted with a new projection screen to compliment the extensive range of equipment, including a 2kW PA system, 24 channel mixing desk, DMX lighting rig, staging, large format projector and screen, lectern, comfy padded seating along with an underfloor bio-mass heating system. The barn is fully licensed for all forms of entertainment and alcohol sales seven days a week.

Architectural design for the barn was undertaken by Simpson & Brown Architects with building works carried out by Duckett Building Services and CDM by Communication Point Ltd. Re-development of the barn has been funded by a major grant from The Northern Rock Foundation and the Cumbria Rural Enterprise Agency. We are extremely grateful to Northern Rock Foundation for their continued support of the work at Heron Corn Mill site.
