By submitting the petition it means that the future of the Hippodrome will be discussed at a forthcoming Full Council meeting. Given the community interest in the future of the building I think that it’s only right that the city's councillors have the opportunity to discuss what support the Council can offer to try and protect the building from further disrepair and bring it back into use.

The Brighton Hippodrome has long been a part of our city’s rich cultural heritage.

 
Earlier this year I was lucky enough to go inside and see for myself just how beautiful the original Frank Matcham interior is. It is a truly wonderful building, and I would love for it to be returned to its former glory as a theatre. 

Early on, I met with the Theatre Trust, and with local members of Equity, both of whom are passionate that the Hippodrome should restored as a theatre.
