Scala – Worcester Performing Arts Venue

Speller Metcalfe is proud to be delivering the transformation of the historic Scala building in Angel Place, Worcester, into a vibrant new arts and entertainment centre that will boost city centre footfall and celebrate the city’s cultural heritage.

Scala Worcester will bring this much-loved former cinema back to life as a welcoming community venue designed to support creativity, education, and community engagement. It will host live performances, independent film, visual arts, and a wide range of participation-based activities, alongside educational outreach and talent development programmes. Open throughout the day and evening, Scala will be a place where people can socialise, learn, and experience exciting new opportunities – complementing, not competing with, Worcester’s existing arts venues.

Once complete, the venue will feature three main spaces – The Stage for live performances and workshops, The Screen for films, live broadcasts, talks, and dance thanks to retractable seating and a spring floor, and The Box for digital experiences, workshops, courses, and classes – helping to transform the city centre and strengthen Worcester’s cultural landscape.

The project, led by Worcester City Council and funded through the Government’s Future High Streets Fund, is now well underway, with completion expected in Autumn 2026.
