The Winter Gardens, 207-214 Marine Road Central, Morecambe - Lancaster

Theatre built in 1896, with a facade of red terracotta and brick. Morecambe Winter Gardens Preservation Trust owns and looks after the building. In 2021, a new heating system was installed with a Coastal Communities grant and a series of Historic England Repair Grant for Heritage at Risk funded repairs to the fibrous plaster ceiling and roof in partnership with the Culture Recovery Fund. An options appraisal and costed condition survey have helped clarify a more sustained public use of the venue as the building regains popularity within the wider community.
