The Met plans exciting new creative and event space
The Met is set to expand its creative and community offer with a new flexible space designed to bring people together through culture, events and creativity.
Work is due to begin next week on the transformation of an existing area of the venue, creating new opportunities for emerging artists, community activities and events in Bury town centre.
Designed to be accessible, welcoming and flexible, the new space will support a wider programme of creative activity, from artist showcases and open mic nights to business lunches and remote working.
Located close to the venue’s restaurant and bar, the space will also offer a relaxed setting for people to eat, drink, work and socialise, adding to The Met’s existing offer.
The development marks an exciting next chapter for The Met, supporting its ambition to be a cultural hub where ideas and creativity flourish, while creating more opportunities for artists and creatives to connect with audiences across Bury, Greater Manchester and beyond.
The project is being delivered in collaboration with Define Architects, 3P Construct and Jeffay Furniture.
Restaurant services during the works
During the refurbishment, Fratelli’s restaurant will continue serving from The Met’s Nook bar, Wednesday to Saturday, with its takeaway service operating as normal.
The work is expected to be completed between late October and early November, with bookings at Fratelli’s set to reopen once the work is finished.
The new space will add another dimension to The Met’s cultural programme and create more ways for people to meet, discover local talent and enjoy everything Bury has to offer.
