St Ives Guildhall Renewal Project 2023-26

The Guildhall belongs to the people of St Ives.

This project will celebrate the Guildhall’s rich past, confirming its role as the civic and cultural heart of the town and re-imagining it for future generations.

The Guildhall is managed by St Ives Town Council and has been since 2013. The hall has always provided a space for live performance and entertainment for the local community.

In 2019, the Town Council began a regeneration project to breathe new life into the building. It is now proud to have secured £3.1 million through the St Ives Town Deal as part of the £19.9 million Government ‘Towns Fund’. This significant once in a lifetime funding is the catalyst ensuring the council’s aims and ambitions will be realised.

We are so pleased to announce that our application to become a member of the national organisation, Music Venues Trust (MVT), was successful. 

MVT acts to protect, secure and improve UK’s live music venue circuit for the benefit of venues, communities and upcoming artists.

The Guildhall has been classified as Grassroots Music & Arts Space (GMAS). This is great news for us as we’re now connected to a wider network of other venues, promoters and artists.

Today we welcome Classic Builders onsite🎉 

Sorry we’ve been rather quiet on here for a while. Since we closed the doors for the Guildhall Renewal project there’s been a lot of work going on behind the scenes including extensive opening up works, finding a few surprises all of which informed the final design, but it’s all go now.

With Classic moving onsite the anticipated reopening is early 2026 and we can’t wait!
