A Seat is Not Just
for Christmas... (PDF)
Harrogate’s Royal Hall could be just the place to find that
unusual gift

The £8 million available for the first phase of the restoration is sufficient to carry out the necessary structural repairs; provide public access to the building and permit public use for concerts, theatre, conferences, exhibitions and so on.

However, the funds currently available will not be sufficient to restore the Royal Hall to its full former glory, and the Royal Hall Restoration Trust has been formed to help finance those additional elements that are needed to return the building to its original Matcham magnificence.

In particular, the Trust plans to fund the following items:

• full restoration of the decor in the main auditorium and the ambulatory
• full refurbishment of the dressing rooms
• refurbishment of the entrance steps complete with disabled access
• installation of an interpretative heritage trail throughout the building
• restoration of period seating and soft furnishings
• restoration of a period bar
