The Nantwich regeneration partnership invited competition entries for the construction of a new landmark cultural center, to be located beside the river Weaver at Baron's Queue. The submission envisaged an ultra modern free flowing design, which nevertheless harmonized with the local black and white, Tudor style vernacular. The center incorporates an heritage center, conference and performance theatre facilities, exhibition space for community arts and a tourist information center with ancillary food, drink and associated administrative accommodation.
