Why Are We Doing It?
The much loved City Varieties Music Hall has seen little work in recent decades other than urgent repairs. A comprehensive refurbishment is now required to address:
• Poor ventilation resulting in an often uncomfortable auditorium
• Very limited access and provision for disabled people
• Small backstage area with only very basic facilities
• Dated heating, lighting and sound systems
• Cramped and inadequate front of house facilities including toilets
These shortcomings will be addressed and will safeguard the long term future of the venue providing significantly improved facilities for all.
This project will not only restore the rich heritage of the building and upgrade its services but will provide vastly improved access thereby enabling the range of learning opportunities associated with the Music Hall’s varied and colourful past to be enjoyed by all.
