Together at the Town Hall
12th February 2026
Together at the Town Hall is a week-long community event bringing people together to enjoy activities, services and support in the heart of Barnsley. With a different theme each day, there’s something for all ages and interests.
A key part of the week is Fusion, a programme that Barnsley Museums & Heritage Trust is passionate about and supports with funding. On Thursday 19 February, Fusion will be at the Town Hall alongside partners from the Armed Forces Covenant and Barnsley College to showcase the work of the Secondary Arts Network, highlighting how schools, colleges and cultural organisations are working together to strengthen arts education and create opportunities for young people.
