Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what funds and funding streams are available to member trusts for restoration of theatres in coastal areas.
This question was answered on 10th March 2016
The Theatres Trust administers the Theatres Protection Fund scheme, which provides funds to theatres in need and at risk. Theatres on the 'Heritage at Risk' Register are also able to apply for repair grants provided by Historic England.
In addition, the Heritage Lottery Fund may also be able to fund wider projects relating to theatres, which could cover restoration costs.
