Have Your Say

3 Renovation Options

The Harlington has been at the heart of our community for decades — a place to enjoy, perform, learn and connect. After years of service, it’s time to secure its future for the benefit of Fleet and our community.

As we enter the next phase of the Harlington Renovation Project, we need your vote. Please review the three options below, each offering a different level of modern refurbishment for this much-loved venue.

  • New improved façade and access to the building
  • Redecoration throughout
