Talisman Theatre

Award: £135,000

Awarded to: The Talisman Theatre Company

Date of award: 08/04/2021

At the full Town Council meeting on 8th April 2021, the Council voted to award the Talisman Theatre Company the sum of £90, 909 as a contribution to a major development project.  The first phase of the project will focus on a new ‘community arts space’ with new reception area, bar area and ‘fringe stage’.   As well as delivering disabled access to these areas and the theatre auditorium, it will resolve long-standing issues with the structure of the front wall and allow later phases of development to proceed.

In late 2022, with increased construction costs, the Theatre Company approached Kenilworth Town Council for an additional grant making a total of £135,000.  This was awarded at the full Town Council meeting on 20 October 2022.

Construction of the theatre was completed in late 2023 with an official opening being held in November 2023!
