The Grammar.

Heanor's new business and community hub

The Grammar

What is The Grammar?

The Grammar is a former school building, built in 1912 to support the continual evolution of the education system. Over the years, education moved to alternative sites and The Grammar fell into a state of disrepair.

Now it's back as a central asset in the middle of Heanor to serve as a business and community hub.

  • Community - Dedicated community spaces available to hire, including the historic Main Hall.
  • Events - the original hall, from the Edwardian era has been restored to create an amazing space suitable for a range of events and activities.
  • Business - The Grammar incorporates workspace that will bring employment to the town and provide services to the community.
  • The Business Hub - The standalone business hub (Baby Grammar) will be available for further entrepreneurial businesses and SMEs to use and operate from. The operating model for this is currently being established. Further information will be coming soon.

The Grammar has been restored to a high standard. It stood for 100 years before renovation, and is intended to stand for hundreds more.
