The Barn at Heron Corn Mill - Beetham, Cumbria

The barn at Heron Corn Mill has been re-developed into an arts, education and community facility, offering an ongoing programme of workshops, activities and events organised by Heron Corn Mill staff. Please check the events page for more details. Over the next three years, starting 2013, the barn will be used for HCM events as part of our Heritage Lottery Funding. It will be no longer available for general hire.

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.

Please check the events page for details of upcoming public events taking place in the barn.

Through 2013 we will be embarking on extensive capital works to improve the site and Corn Mill. Thus meaning the barn will no longer be available for general bookings, thank you.
