The Drapery is on West End in the town centre, close the railway station and provides a highly visible location. Redruth has seen significant regeneration successes, particularly through the High Street Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) program, which has revitalised historic buildings and created new community and commercial spaces. Key achievements include the transformation of the Buttermarket into a hub for independent food businesses, the creation of "The Ladder" creative hub in the former library, and the conversion of 81 Fore Street into artist studios. This has brought considerable positive and independent focus to the town.
