The Ark World Arts Centre, encapsulating the Sparkenhoe Theatre, occupies the single-storey building on the left. The £660,000 Sparkenhoe Community Theatre was created in 2004 from a disused Unemployment Benefit Office to provide a purpose-built teaching and performance space for nearby Sparkenhoe Primary School and the wider community. The original structure of the building was kept and re-clad to form a foyer and teaching space, with a new structure housing the theatre's auditorium behind it. St Peter's Anglican Church can be seen beyond it.
