The Spring Arts & Heritage Centre

The Spring Arts & Heritage Centre is a small venue where big things happen. Our vibrant events and activities help make Havant, Hampshire and the surrounding region a better place to live. The Spring Arts & Heritage Centre provides arts and cultural activities and services across the Borough of Havant and beyond. The organisation is based in Havant and extends its reach from this hub across the region through a variety of projects and activities. The Spring Arts & Heritage Centre is a registered charity and is governed by a board of trustees who in turn are elected by the charity’s membership. The trustees delegate day-to-day management to a Director and a team of staff. The organisation has a dedicated team of nearly 100 volunteers. What We Do The Spring is the only professional live performance venue and professional museum within Havant Borough. We are also the only one-site museum and arts centre in Hampshire. We work to bring cultural activities and artistic experiences to our community. We specifically focus on working for, and with, the 120,000 residents of Havant Borough, and we regularly extend our reach further into Hampshire, Portsmouth and West Sussex. We present and manage five different strands of work: 1. Live events and films screenings 2. Participatory events and opportunities 3. Visual arts and heritage exhibitions, heritage collections and care 4. Cultural advice and support services (for individuals and organsiations 5. Community services (such as room hire and the café) All strands are delivered across a range of artistic and cultural activities including theatre, music, visual arts, craft, comedy, heritage, dance and circus. The Spring works to ensure these activities and opportunities take place both within the Spring’s building and ‘beyond our walls’ across the Borough.
