Morecambe Winter Gardens, which was once one of the country’s most popular theatres drawing tourists from across the UK, has been awarded a grant of £2.78 million from the Cultural Development Fund to help it once again be one of the best music venues in the north of England.
The funding, which is the largest single investment the venue has received in over a 100 years, will also be used to launch a new work experience initiative to help young creatives from Lancashire get access to and develop careers in the arts industry.
