Beacon Arts Centre - Open Day

Today was the open day for the general public to view Greenock's new Beacons Art Centre.

The Beacon is the replacement for the Greenock Arts Guild Theatre.

Although he external design has come under much local criticism - rightly in my opinion - it has to be said the the interior is a triumph and should prove a great asset to the area.

Prince Edward - Greenock Visit to Beacon Arts Centre

We enjoyed a brief visit from His Royal Highness Prince Edward to Greenock this afternoon.

He was  paying a visit to the new Arts Guild which is under construction.

The visit was to unveil its new name - 'The Beacon Arts Centre'.

Relaxed, he came across and spoke to the waiting crowd who were very appreciative of his presence.
