In September 1980 the redundant church of All Saints was given to Lewes Town Council to be used as a Community, Arts and Youth centre.

“The parish church of the former parish of All Saints, Lewes in the Diocese of Chichester…included in a redundancy scheme… appropriating the property to use as a community arts and youth centre and for purposes ancillary thereto…”

For twenty years the centre w

as run by the charity known as the All Saints Youth & Arts Trust, who were granted a lease by the Town council. Their programming policy was stated as:

‘To promote, maintain, improve and advance the education of the public in the appreciation and practice of the arts and to advance the education of children and young people by the provision of facilities for creative, educational activity in the arts.”

In 2001, the Trust dissolved and handed the lease of the building back to Lewes Town Council. The Council has been directly-managing the All Saints Centre since that time. The Present
All Saints Centre is a hybrid venue functioning as both as a Village Hall and a Performing Arts Space. As the All Saints is currently run as a venue to hire, its strength will lie in being a flexible, affordable, multi-use space. The centre is well positioned to cater for: Live performance i.e. Music, Dance, Theatre
Recorded performance i.e. Cinema
Workshop/Rehearsal Space i.e. Music, Dance, Health, Fine & Dramatic Arts Community And Special Interest Groups which promote youth activity, community discussion and lifelong learning. At its best it supports its threefold aim through a commitment to Community Arts projects which are, by definition, participatory activities in which the local community can engage for the purpose of both self development, skill development and community building. The All Saints Centre acts as a creative hub by offering a safe place to create, explore, perform, discuss and gather. The Centre is currently a ‘safe-house’ to home grown and developing community and arts organisations to meet, workshop, rehearse and perform.
