Matt McGuinness, creative director for Furthest from the Sea who hold arts events around Derbyshire, was one of the first organisations to use the venue.

"Over the years lots of community spaces have been run down and let go. There isn't that communal activity happening as much as it used to.

"So having somewhere right in the centre that has got the history and the association people have with Heanor, the Grammar, and somewhere where people can come together... we don't have enough of that," he said.
