Haworth Tompkins has been announced as the lead on the multi-disciplinary team for the St George's Guildhall and Creative Hub project in King's Lynn.

HT are collaborating with Richard Griffiths Architects on the conservation of the Grade I listed buildings along with a team including Charcoalblue, Momentum and Max Fordham. Stakeholder and community engagement and consultation will take place throughout the project, which is due to be completed in 2026.
