Red Brick Building

Who we are

The Vision

• The Red Brick Building Centre (RBBC) is an exciting project on the edge of Glastonbury, which is creating managed and affordable workspace for micro & social enterprises venues for education, arts, events and community supportfor Glastonbury, Street and surrounding villages.
• The core strands are social and enterprise support, arts and community activity, education and training.
• Young people are a key part of the vision, and have been involved and consulted at each stage. Various opportunities have been developed to ensure that our young people are active users of the building.
• The development is being done in the spirit of imagination and collaboration, with a frugal approach, which means combining what this amazing building already offers, with the energy of local people.

The aims

• To create, provide and promote access to both creative and performance arts;
• To provide the people and infrastructures that will place young people at the centre of community life.
