The Barbican is a unique and wonderful arts centre, looking better than ever after its refurbishment, and currently full of great events to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Its partnership with the City of London brings creativity and excitement to the Square Mile and to London as a whole, highlighting the vital contribution of the arts to the life of a great city."
