Arts & culture property specialists
We put your vision centre stage
Arts and culture venues are where communities gather, stories unfold, and history is made. But bringing these spaces to life requires specialist expertise to balance heritage preservation with commercial reality and artistic vision with practical constraints. Every project tells its own story - whether a Grade I listed theatre demanding sensitive restoration or a cutting-edge museum reshaping visitor engagement. We support the complete journey, helping clients transform their spaces to serve communities and achieve commercial success today and into the future. We've had the privilege of working with clients to ensure some of the UK's most beloved venues thrive for future generations. Discover our full range of services below.
How we can support you
We deliver arts and culture projects end-to-end, handling strategy, construction, heritage challenges and ongoing performance optimisation that help destinations thrive.
Project development and feasibility
Construction and refurbishment
Creating great cultural spaces needs inspiration and practical expertise! From RIBA Stirling prize-winning new builds to heritage refurbishments, we deliver projects that balance artistic vision with commercial objectives. Our experts deliver project management, cost management, and building consultancy services including contractor procurement and contract administration. Recent successes include Liverpool's Everyman Theatre and RICS award-winning Bristol Old Vic's restoration.
Ongoing asset management
Beyond project delivery, our facilities management teams understand that cultural venues are complex, living spaces. We've managed 65 Cineworld cinemas since 2005 and provide ongoing support for major institutions like the V&A Museum. From front-of-house services to mechanical maintenance, we help venues adapt to evolving visitor expectations while preserving operational efficiency and heritage requirements. Our approach delivers value and aligns with each venue's unique character.
Balancing commercial & cultural objectives
Our teams live and breathe arts and culture projects. We've delivered some of the UK's most celebrated venues, navigating heritage sensitivities with York Theatre Royal, balancing budgets with artistic ambition at the V&A Museum, and turning community aspirations into reality with Tunbridge Wells' new theatre. We understand the balance between commercial viability, cultural significance, and community impact. When others see complexity, we reach solutions.
