The Point is Doncaster's Centre of Excellence for Creative Health and Learning and an established arts and community venue located at 16 South Parade in the city centre. The building combines restored Georgian townhouses with contemporary architecture and includes gallery, studio, meeting, garden and creative spaces. It opened in 1998 and was expanded in 2007 with a double-height contemporary gallery. A significant decarbonisation and improvement programme in 2025 created additional flexible spaces for conferences, meetings, events and office use. The Point has developed beyond its original arts-centre function and now actively markets its spaces for meetings, conferences, events and office use. Its official hire information highlights the ability to accommodate a conference for around 100 people as well as smaller meetings, with several spaces available depending on requirements. Facilities include free Wi-Fi, projectors, dedicated venue staff, in-house catering and parking. The building also contains a café, making it suitable for informal meetings and hospitality alongside formal events. Accessibility is a major strength. The Point has lifts to all levels, accessible toilets, a Changing Places facility with hoist and changing bench, baby-changing facilities and inclusive accessibility provisions.
The Meeting Room is one of The Point's dedicated hire spaces and is designed for smaller meetings, workshops and business gatherings. It provides a more conventional meeting environment than the gallery or studio spaces, with access to the building's Wi-Fi, projection equipment, catering and supporting facilities.
The Studio is a flexible creative space designed to accommodate practical and participatory activities. Its adaptable character makes it suitable for workshops, creative sessions, training, movement-based activities and selected corporate events. It forms part of The Point's wider portfolio of spaces available for short-term hire.
The Gallery is The Point's prominent contemporary exhibition space, created through the 2007 expansion of the building. Its distinctive double-height character provides a visually striking setting for exhibitions, receptions, presentations, creative events and selected corporate functions. The space offers an alternative to conventional meeting rooms for organisations seeking a more memorable environment.
The Garden Room is one of The Point's flexible spaces available for hire following the venue's recent improvements. Its relationship with the building's outdoor garden areas makes it particularly suitable for informal meetings, workshops, small gatherings and creative activities where access to a more relaxed environment is desirable.
Light and Space is one of The Point's newer flexible hire areas, created as part of the building's recent improvements. It provides an adaptable environment for meetings, workshops, creative activities and events. Its inclusion in the venue's current hire portfolio makes it one of the spaces to consider for bespoke event requirements.
