The space, which is around 6,000 sq ft, once housed the Battle of Britain musuem and has already been used for a number of successful exhibitions. The objectives are two fold - to stage shows and to allow other galleries to rent the Crucifix Lane on a commercial basis for special projects.

No shows will be put on during August and September as the gallery is undergoing major refurbishment, however, in October the nine-strong German collective Hobbypop will construct a major, multi media installation.
