Grants totalling c75k awarded to 10 Theatres at Risk

We are delighted to announce the third round of grants awarded through our Resilient Theatres: Resilient Communities programme.

Part of the programme funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Pilgrim Trust and Swire Charitable Trust, the grants aim to help progress the restoration, reopening or revitalising of At Risk theatres by funding expert support.

Work funded in this round includes condition surveys, business planning, fundraising and audience development strategies, a viability study and a governance review.

The ten theatres to receive a share of the £74,835 total fund are:

The theatres are all on the Theatres at Risk Register 2025, published by Theatres Trust in January, and are at various stages in their journey to revival.

Joshua McTaggart, CEO of Theatres Trust says “All the theatres on our Theatres at Risk Register are special buildings that have real potential to bring joy and opportunities to their communities. We are thrilled to support 10 of these fantastic theatres with essential strategic projects that will lay the foundations for their revival. We look forward to supporting them through this journey and seeing the progress they make.”
