The Montserrat Cultural Centre will officially reopen its doors next Thursday, following an extensive renovation program.
The Montserrat Arts Council and the Office of the Premier will host a ceremony at the newly refurbished building in Little Bay on Thursday, November 12th.
The event is expected to feature an evening of music, culture and celebration, with a number of local performances set for the night.
These include appearances by De Bear, Innis, Lyrical Tool, the Emerald Community Singers, the Matrixx Dancers, and Nurse Browne and Company, among others.
The multi-purpose facility opened in 2006 as a gift from Sir George Martin, underwent comprehensive upgrades to restore and modernize its infrastructure.
Works included structural repairs, internal reconfiguration and upgrades to utilities, with particular focus on public areas, washrooms and internal support spaces.
A key feature of the project is a covered chair lift to improve access to the second floor for persons with disabilities.
The newly renovated venue made its official ceremonial return during the Opening of the Eighteenth Session of the Eighteenth Parliament in October.
The refurbishment is estimated at approximately £2 million and was funded through capital allocations originally earmarked for a new Parliament building.
