A new chapter begins...
After a once-in-a-generation transformation, we’re back. And we can’t wait to welcome you in.
On Sunday, 28 September 2025, The Harris will reopen its doors as a bold, reimagined space for everyone. Where art, culture, history, learning and community come together like never before.
Thanks to an incredible multi-million restoration, made possible by Preston City Council, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the UK Government’s Towns Fund, Lancashire County Council and many other generous partners, The Harris has been lovingly transformed inside and out. But we haven’t just renovated a building – we’ve rethought what it means to be a truly inclusive cultural space in the heart of Preston.
The Harris Your Place project is about so much more than bricks and mortar. It was about people. And you’ve played a big part in shaping what The Harris becomes next.
From community consultations to workshops with local young people, we’ve listened. You’ve told us what matters, what inspires you, and what you need from The Harris. And now, we’re proud to bring those ideas to life, with brand new exhibitions, learning spaces, family-friendly facilities, a welcoming new café and shop, and heritage tours that celebrate the building’s unique story.
Expect a Harris that feels both familiar and fresh. Where the past and future meet in surprising, exciting ways.
