Welcome to Murston Heart Creative Community Hub.

 

So much has happened since we completed the restoration of the historic medieval chancel and our beautiful new building at the end of 2022. Our six studios now house a variety of small creative businesses – bringing new jobs and opportunities in the community – and we are also home to Nurture for All, which runs mindfulness and well-being sessions for local children. 

 

The Hub Cafe is open to the public every weekday, serving delicious home-made food and hot and cold drinks, as well as for occasional special events such as artisan market days which are held in our grounds. The former churchyard is a green oasis for people and wildlife to enjoy, and interpretation boards tell the history of the church, the community and the local brick-making industry.

 

In July 2023, we celebrated the opening of the Chancel Gallery and our new building with acclaimed artist Rose Wylie and an exhibition of her large “Blue Doodlebug” painting. Other exhibitions have included the work of local schoolchildren inspired by medieval graffiti, the finds of the “Victorian Mudlarks” and “Lost and Found in Murston”, a video featuring the photography and reminiscences of local people over the last 60 years.

 

All this was made possible by our fabulous donors and the players of the National Lottery (for full details of our supporters, see About Us). Thank you!

 

See What’s On below, or follow us on Facebook to find out more, including details of our special events.

Community heritage programme  

MAST will be running a heritage activities programme over the next two years.  The Trust have teamed up with the neighbouring Wienerberger Smeed Dean brickworks to plan a project with Sunny Bank Primary and Meadowfield Schools which will involve their pupils working with local artists to make bricks for missing sections of the churchyard wall.  Watch this space!
