Restoration

As part of the charitable trust’s work, The Criterion Theatre Trust maintains this 142 year old Grade II listed building to make it available to modern theatre goers and theatre professionals.

In October 2015, we introduced a restoration levy on ticket sales to facilitate works on the theatre.

For every ticket bought £1.00(83p after tax) contributes to the maintenance of this historic building.

Recent works have included:

The complete replacement of the auditorium seating and front of house carpeting.

Replacement of the electrical infrastructure back of house

We are currently restoring the damp damaged tiling on the main staircase using the original tile manufacturer, Craven Dunhill Jackfield, who created the tiles when the theatre was built in 1874.
