Brighton Hippodrome: plans for new roof as rot spreads

A VICTORIAN theatre where the Beatles once performed has submitted plans for a new roof - as dry rot continues to spread. Work to restore Brighton Hippodrome to its former glory began after it was bought by family-run company Matsim Properties last year. However, as work to repair the Grade II listed building continues, decorative plaster ceilings have collapsed and dry rot is spreading throughout the venue. According to Matsim Properties, it is impossible to prevent any further water penetration because of the design and deterioration of the roof structure. The roof’s steelwork has rusted through and any work on recovering the roof will cause excessive vibration and undoubtedly bring down further if not all of the decorative ceiling, the company said.

Brighton Hippodrome remains on Theatre Trust s at risk list

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.
