IT’S curtains up for one Leamington venue that will be getting a £30,000 facelift.
Work will begin at the Royal Spa Centre in Leamington this summer when workmen will move in to revamp the venue.
The improvement work will be followed by a grand re-opening in the autumn with shows such as Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Tell Me On A Sunday, starring Claire Sweeney, and West End comedy hit Defending The Caveman with Mark Little.
The redevelopment work is being backed by Warwick District Council’s Task and Finish group and aims to make the troubled venue more appealing to the public.
Councillor Sue Gallagher (Con, Leek Wootton) said: “I think the proposed changes are exactly what is needed and are very exciting. I can’t wait to see it all take shape and very much look forward to seeing the Royal Spa Centre transform itself over the next few months.”
The venue is hoping to boost ticket sales with a packed programme of top shows and one-night specials.
Other highlights of the new season include a date with entertainer and comedy performer Brian Conley and John Godber’s classroom comedy drama Teechers.
The big Christmas show will be family pantomime Mother Goose and open auditions for professional dancers and actors will be held in the summer.
Longer term ideas for the centre are also being explored. They include plans to develop the current site, alternative uses for the centre and proposals to relocate the venue to a completely new site.
People are invited to give their views in a public consultation online survey that was launched last week. Go to www.royal-spa-centre.co for details.
Everyone who takes part will be entered into a free prize draw to win a pair of tickets for the show of their choice.
Tickets for the new autumn season go on sale on June 10.
