It is a friendly welcoming building where lots of creative activity happens alongside a regular programme of family-friendly, world-class exhibitions, events and activities.

History

Established in 1990.

darts’ journey began in 1990. We were a small project, initiated with funding from Doncaster Council and Yorkshire Arts. Our early days were spent tucked away on the first floor of Bentley Library. We became both a registered charity and company limited by guarantee in 1996. In an average year we now engage between 55-60,000 participations across our programmes, attract people from every Doncaster Ward and welcome 40,000 visitors to The Point. We took on the incredible opportunity of purchasing a building of our own in 1997 with the help of National Lottery and European Regional Development Funds. After lots of hard work and innovative thinking about the spaces, The Point, opened in May 1998. In 2007, we had the opportunity to expand into the building next door and created a beautiful, double height contemporary gallery space. The Point is the only Makaton Friendly venue in Doncaster. The Point is one of a small number of Doncaster venues with a Changing Places facility.

Aeroventure Moved From Firbeck and Relocated Near Doncaster, It is Now Bigger and Better than before. An Excellent Aviation Museum, Ideal For a Family Day Out, or for any Aviation Nut. With Lots Of Aircraft on display for you to see Inside and Outside (See there website for a full list of Aircraft on display). They also put on a lot of Events, details of which can be found on the website along with admission prices. I would highly recomend AerVenture for a day out with your Family especialy if like me you have little boys who love Planes. Some of the Exhibits have open Cockpits that you can get inside. There is a shop at the Museum that sell refreshments, videos, books and Model Airplane Kits.

The lake was once a popular place for anglers, but Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council, who couldn't organise a bunk up in a brothel, have decided not to allow fishing. Well worth a visit, even if just for the cafe in the old stables.

Not over filled with exhibits it makes up for with charm and a relaxed style.
