TAI KWUN GO

The new Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and Arts in Central has finally been unveiled. Encompassing a former police station, prison, magistracy and living quarters, director Timothy Calnin thinks "for most visitors, the big reveal will be how extensive it is"

What does Tai Kwun hope to achieve overall by blending heritage tours, contemporary and performing arts, F&B and retail?

It's an extraordinary combination where our primary focus is on heritage and the arts, as well as giving audiences wonderful experiences, but supported by a great range of commercial businesses including food and beverage styles at a range of price points. The idea is that we want people to come here frequently, which we would regard as a great indicator of whether we've really captured the imagination of the Hong Kong public.
