Barnabas Arts House is an art gallery, artist studios, a venue for events and above all, a centre for creativity in Newport, south Wales. Its previous incarnations include church, soup kitchen, dance hall and printers, but at the dawn of a new millenium Barnabas has become a creative centre at the hub of Newport's artistic community. Lovingly restored without compromising its heritage, integrity, character or charm this century old building has become a new and exciting creative space. It is Newport's only independent Arts House
Barnabas is suitable for almost any event or occasion no matter what size.
The three main rooms can be hired individually or collectively for exhibitions of any size, from a single wall or display, or indeed the entire building for the larger collection.
Events from parties to weddings, dances, or live performances are catered for - The Hall boasts a traditional stage and adjoining kitchen with serving hatch. Ideal for meetings, rehearsals, clubs and societies, amateur dramatics, dance, yoga and many other things. Barnabas is a truly versatile space
