The Harris is temporarily closed for the Harris Your Place project.
Harris Your Place is a £16 million project set to restore and reimagine The Harris for 21st Century audiences as a community, cultural and learning space.
The Harris will officially reopen its doors to the public on Sunday 28 September 2025 following a once-in-a-generation restoration, as part of the Harris Your Place project. The transformation reimagines The Harris as a dynamic and inclusive cultural hub for the 21st century, blending art, history, community, and a refreshed library service to deliver an exciting new visitor experience.
Located in the heart of Preston, The Harris will relaunch with an impressive exhibition programme, learning spaces, family-friendly facilities, a new café and shop, and new heritage tours that celebrate its architectural and civic legacy. The reopening will mark a new chapter for one of the UK’s leading regional museums, libraries and galleries.
