Welcome To St. Patrick’s Centre, the home of Performing Arts and Music at Causeway Campus. Built in 1881, this Victorian B2 listed building has been carefully restored. Many original features have been preserved, while the space has been updated to support modern creative work.

The Centre combines historic character with professional facilities, creating an inspiring place to rehearse, create, and perform. The Victorian design, including the original pine rafters, reflects the building’s heritage and adds to its unique atmosphere.

The venue hosts live music events for students and small theatre productions, presented either in the round or in a traditional format. Its restoration ensures that history remains an important part of today’s creative activity.
