The story so far 

In 2017, we completed a £13.7 million restoration project which transformed the theatre for current and future generations to enjoy. The restoration enabled the theatre to expand its artistic programme and make significant access improvements including public lifts and wheelchair access to all levels. The building’s footprint was enlarged enabling us to offer a programme of year-round events and access to daytime facilities including a café bar, meeting spaces, an education centre and a variety of galleries.
