 The Spa Theatre after 2008 refurbishment |
The original 1930s Royal Hall and Edwardian Spa Theatre have undergone a major refurbishment programme. Much of the original building fabric has been renewed, along with replacement and upgrading of all of the building services equipment. The restored flat-floored stalls and the tiered balcony of the Royal Hall provide a flexible auditorium for trade shows, conferencing and a wide variety of stage presentations with a standing capacity up to 3500. The rear stage, 11 metres wide and 5 metres deep, is provided with five power drill operated lighting/scenery bars, front curtain, stage masking, and separate curtaining to introduce or screen off the magnificent view to the sea front. The main stage is 16 metres wide and 3 metres deep. There is a trussing system over the stage and auditorium. Audio-visual equipment was entirely renewed. The restored, raked seated stalls and tiered balcony in the Edwardian Spa Theatre provide a traditional proscenium arch auditorium for music, dance, drama and conference presentation with a capacity of 675 seats. A quantity of rostra can extend the stage front forward and within the auditorium floor a shallow orchestra pit is available for up to 12 players. The stage at the proscenium is 9.3 metres wide and 11.7 metres deep. 25 power-flying sets for lighting and scenery were installed above the stage together with two high side lighting bridges and rear/ balcony front lighting positions in the auditorium.
