About Mansfield Connect
Mansfield District Council purchased the former Beales building in 2021 to safeguard and control this asset because of its key role in the town centre and its wider local importance.
Mansfield Connect sees the regeneration and repurposing of a locally valued but long-vacant department store to create a new civic and community hub. It will be a beacon for all, bringing partners, agencies, residents and communities together reactivating Mansfield town centre, driving transformational change in service delivery across the district, breeding a new confidence in the town and unlocking our entrepreneurial spirit.

A successful Levelling-Up Fund submission to the government represents a once in a generation opportunity. Mansfield Connect offers a welcome truly worthy of the place, enabling our partners and stakeholders to respond collaboratively to our challenges and opportunities. The repurposing of this landmark building in the town centre will have a catalytic effect, bringing to life a new integrated space, stimulating private sector investment and reactivating the town over the 24/7.
The planning application for the site has been submitted and is awaiting an outcome.
