Temporary Closure

At the end of January 2009, the Varieties closed for a massive refurbishment and restoration project, funded by Leeds City Council (£5.2m), the Heritage Lottery Fund (£2.74m) and £1.3m from our own ongoing fundraising endeavours. The work is expected to be completed by the summer of 2011.
