The illustrated Hippodrome

A talk now available

A lavishly illustrated talk by David Fisher about the history of the Hippodrome as a theatre.
• Many people have asked if they can look inside the Hippodrome. Unfortunately that is not possible but this is the next best thing.
• The talk shows, in over 200 images, the history of this endangered Grade II* listed gem—the finest unused theatre in the country—through its days as a skating rink, circus, variety theatre, bingo hall and heritage at risk. It will include pictures and information not previously known or revealed.
• The potential and plans for its future will also be explained by David Fisher, who has been involved throughout the campaign to save and restore the theatre and has done extensive research into its history.
