Philip Astley Centre voted one of Newcastle-under-Lyme’s top attractions

Andrew Van Buren October 25, 2024

Philip Astley Centre voted one of Newcastle-under-Lyme’s top attractions.

Fantastic that the Philip Astley Centre has been voted one of Newcastle-under-Lyme’s top three Visitor Attractions, not bad considering it is only seven months since our doors first opened. Although the Philip Astley Centre didn’t get top place, which went to the Brampton Museum, a long-time collaborator and part of the Philip Astley Projects working committee, we are more than happy to send our congratulations to the wonderful Museum team.

A really big thank you to everybody who voted for us, all of your support is amazing and truly appreciated, to think support for Philip Astley Projects CIC and the Philip Astley Centre is growing so much is truly heart warming.

The Philip Astley Centre is open Wednesday to Saturday from 11.00am until 4.00pm (unless hosting a private event – check Philip Astley Projects Social Media for updates).
