Originally built in 1877 as the Barnsley Mechanics Institute and Public Hall by Henry Harvey, and later known as the Harvey Institute, Barnsley Civic closed its doors in 1998 before it was reborn in 2009 as a theatre and gallery.
Barnsley Civic’s chief executive officer and artistic director Anthony Baker said Saturday’s event would “celebrate our collective past, present and future”.
“We are so excited to swing open the doors of Eldon Street once more, inviting people to rediscover and engage with one of Barnsley’s most magnificent buildings,” he said.
“Our aim is to fill every corner of Barnsley Civic with exciting activity, making it a place where everyone belongs, and where every visit leaves a lasting impression.”
