About the Property

The Theatre Royal, constructed in 1787, is the second oldest operating theatre in Britain. It was designed by Jethro T. Robinson, a prominent Victorian theatre designer, and is the last remaining example of his work that is largely intact. It is grade II* listed. It is owned by Thanet District Council. It is undergoing a comprehensive refurbishment with £6 million of funding from the government’s Town Deal. Foster Wilson Size, who specialise in restoration of historic theatres, are the architects. The works will sensitively restore the heritage, while delivering a modern venue of c.465-480 seats. Improvements will include restored interior decoration, renewed seating and carpets, new toilets, bar and box office facilities, upgraded sound and lighting infrastructure, reinstatement of the orchestra pit, and new ventilation, wiring and drainage systems. Back-of-house works include new accessible dressing rooms and an upgraded stage door entrance. Externally the façade is being restored, the roof repaired with solar panels, and the street enhanced with new paving. The incoming operator will have opportunity to input into the detailed designs.
