ABOUT US

Located in Newport, South Wales, Barnabas Arts House has a fine art gallery, rentable studios, vegetarian kitchen, a Victorian stage, and is home to several creative businesses as well as offering event hire opportunities. The century-old building has been beautifully restored and transformed into a new and exciting creative space without compromising its heritage, integrity, character or charm. Often called Newport's hidden gem, Barnabas is the city's only independent Arts House.
