Kings Heath Community Arts Centre public consultation

Kings Heath Walk of Fame are campaigning to turn the former Ritz Ballroom site on York Road into a new community arts centre. The site, which was used most recently by Cash Converters, was destroyed by fire in March 2013.

Ideas on how such an arts centre could be used include a Birmingham Pop History Museum and cinema, with performance and rehearsal space for music, comedy, theatre and dance.

At this stage, Kings Heath Walk of Fame are looking for the thoughts of local residents, businesses and organisations as to what the arts centre should do. They would also like to find out who may be interested in getting involved.

You can let them know by completing this very short survey:

To find out more in the meantime, you can email them at info@kingsheathwalkoffame.org.uk or contact them via Facebook and Twitter.
