Preston Hall Museum and Park scheme moves forward
Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council (STBC) is to reopen two attractions as part of the £7m regeneration of Preston Hall Museum and Park.
Work is now complete on the first and second phases of the scheme, which will see the Victorian Street and the museum's Ballroom unveiled on 1 February. An exhibition exploring the museum's behind-the-scenes work will mark the reopening of the ballroom, which will include artefacts not put on display for a number of years.
STBC cabinet member for arts, leisure and culture Mary Womphrey said: "The exhibition to launch the re-opening of the Ballroom will be a real eye opener into some of the items the Museum has in its stores." The regeneration of Preston Hall Museum and Park is scheduled for completion by spring 2012.
