Background

Queen’s Hall Arts (QHA) is the registered charity responsible for managing Queen’s Hall Arts Centre in Hexham, Northumberland.

We have strong and established links with our communities and have a long history of engaging hard to reach members of the communities in positive, cultural activities. We are also a source of employment and economic activity in the area, employing 31 staff, and working with 300 creative professionals every year. Our Victorian-era venue houses a 350- seat theatre, studio theatre, two galleries, library, offices, rehearsal room, and five rental spaces.

Our mission is “to be the cultural heart of our community, delivering great art experiences and supporting professional and aspiring artists”

Over the last three years, QHA has successfully evolved into a cultural leader within the region including our leadership of the Hexham Cultural Network and growth of our creative regional partnerships. Defined by the core principles of innovation, diversity and inclusion, community engagement and artist development, we have fostered a co-creation model that resonates not only within our organisation but also contributes significantly to the cultural landscape of the region.
