YMCA Front Room @ Malt Cross
Nottingham’s Malt Cross is pleased to unveil a brand new winter events programme as the venue welcomes people back in collaboration with YMCA Robin Hood Group (formerly Nottinghamshire YMCA).
The venue is now hosting the 150-year-old youth charity, which relocated to the Malt Cross in November under the new name ‘YMCA Front Room @ Malt Cross’.
YMCA Robin Hood Group sports a rich history of delivering events and this iconic grade-II listed former Victorian music hall, on St James’ Street, will become a central hub for the charity’s community activities as the two organisations come together for the benefit of local people.
This new format means the venue will be accessible for a unique programme of ticketed events appealing to all ages and interests, including many free ones. Events will cover a variety of themes, ranging from supper clubs and art classes to live music and the much-anticipated relaunch of the venue’s ever-popular Beer and Carols festive extravaganza.
Joe Piliero, Executive Director for Hospitality at YMCA Robin Hood Group, said: “When YMCA became the custodian of the Malt Cross, we pledged to empower this venue to thrive as a dynamic events space that inspires our community’s next generation to grow and learn together.
“Our shared values and strong relationship with the Malt Cross Trust positions us brilliantly to develop this commitment to nurturing safe social environments which celebrate heritage and open doors for young people to belong, contribute and thrive.
“We look forward to welcoming visitors back to our iconic venue after more than a year of being closed for a new programme of diverse offerings. Our winter events are festive focused and going forward there will be something for everyone – whether it be supper clubs, live music evenings or TED Talk style events.”
