A home for creativity, community, and culture.
Axe Vale Arts (AVA) is a new project, established to create a dedicated space for arts-based activities and events.
The project uses the local vacant Methodist Church for the benefit of the community of Axbridge and the surrounding area.
This historic building is being reimagined as a vibrant space for music, theatre, exhibitions, workshops, and more.
Join us as we breathe new life into this much-loved landmark and create a welcoming venue for everyone to enjoy.
Axe Vale Arts is raising £250,000 to secure Axbridge’s former Methodist Church as a permanent community arts centre.
Help us to buy the building and to start on the essential renovation work.
