Musician and actor Gary Kemp called for more support for old theatres including the Hippodrome
THE BRIGHTON Hippodrome is on a list of 31 venues at significant or immediate risk of being lost as the Covid-19 pandemic has a “devastating” impact on the UK theatre industry.
The Theatres Trust, which put the list together, has seen an “emerging trend” during the coronavirus crisis where vacant theatre buildings put up for sale by private owners.
The Brighton Hippodrome is just one of the venues on the list to be put up for sale in the second half of last year.
In September, The Argus reported that the Middle Street venue had been sold to the Lambor family, who run Matsim Properties in Brighton.
