TAVISTOCK & VILLAGES INITIATIVE

	S6.8 Adequacy of facilities for local arts groups
	Community meeting rooms are generally well used and Tavistock is fortunate to have some excellent venues for the performing arts. There is an apparent shortage of workshop space for local artists and craftsmen. There is also a demand for a dedicated rehearsal and recording facility, primarily to encourage young people to learn an instrument but also to strengthen Tavistock’s position as a centre of musical excellence.
