The refurbishment of this grand building brings public arts facilities and opportunities to a town that has suffered from an economic decline in recent years. An £8M redevelopment programme supported by the Welsh Government, European regional development fund, Heritage lottery fund and Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council bought this 19th century magistrates court, holding cells and civic centre into the 21st Century.
Momentum successfully won the competitive tender to supply the furniture for the cafe bar and function hall. This meant we could be part of an exciting project giving the old town hall a new lease of life. Design and layout were key aspects in this refurbishment. Not only did the furniture need to compliment the great building but provide a practical aspect to multifunctional rooms. The building needs to house numerous events of different sizes and styles, from music concerts to Banquet dinners. This added an extra element to the choice of furnishings used and the end result not only looks brilliant but serves all the practical needs of Redhouse.
