Threate shows at the Bridlington Spa have been cancelled after an inspection inside the theatre.
A two night show by dance star Johannes Radebe’s entitled Freedom Unleashed was due to take place this Friday and Saturday but has now been cancelled after an inspection of the auditorium.
The rest of the building has been declared safe and remains open with the Blackball Pool Championships progressing as normal in the main hall until Wednesday, 5th April. The cafe also remains open for business as usual.
In statement, Mark Lonsdale, General Manager at Bridlington Spa said:
“Following inspections carried out today in the theatre, it is with regret that I have to inform you that the theatre has been closed for repairs to be carried out within the auditorium.
“Unfortunately, this means the shows scheduled for Friday and Saturday have had to be cancelled and while I understand people will be disappointed, the safety of our customers, staff and performers, is our number one priority.
“Box office staff will automatically be contacting customers with tickets for this weekend to offer them a full refund.
“Further inspections are due to take place to assess the extent of the repairs needed and we should know more in the next few days.
“Should we need to cancel further shows, customers will be contacted directly and offered refunds.
“While works to the theatre take place, I’d like to reassure people that the Royal Hall, cafe and the rest of the public spaces within Bridlington Spa are safe and remains open.”
