The Civic is one of Barnsley’s best art spaces, and is definitely worth a visit. The Perfect Imperfects exhibition from up-and-coming artist Jasper Pedyo, with a major exhibition in his adopted hometown.
Jasper has already won the prestigious 2018 Free Range exhibition prize in London for his striking mixed media paintings which feature a bold use of binary colours on stretched and shaped canvases. The exhibition runs until July 17, and tickets should be booked in advance by visiting: https://www.barnsleycivic.co.uk/
Another fantastic attraction is Cannon Hall Museum Park and Gardens, which makes for a fantastic day out with its beautiful and plush gardens and fascinating rolling exhibitions.
× BARNSLEY Council has stepped in to take control of a historic heritage railway and is working on plans to resume services - but it will remain closed for now.
The Elsecar Heritage Railway (EHR) Trust, a group of volunteers which has maintained the railway line from Elsecar to Hemingfield since 2006, previously had an agreement in place with an outside engineering firm to cope with the labour and financial demands of the project.
But spiralling financial problems, compounded by the Covid-19 pandemic, saw the trust surrender the lease back to the council.
Questions still remain over certain parts of the track and infrastructure, with the authority claiming it will begin disposing of ‘some rolling stock and equipment’ not expected to be used in the future.
