HQ Theatres has expanded its empire once again, adding Cardiff's New Theatre to its portfolio.
The company, acquired by Trafalgar Entertainment earlier this year, was meant to assume control in March but the deal was delayed due to the pandemic. HQ signed the lease yesterday (August 16) and will reopen the venue on Sunday.
It won a bidding process by Cardiff Council, which has approved a 25 year lease for the 115-year-old building. A new community and education programme will be established soon, HQ says.
New Theatre becomes the 12th venue to join the HQ family.
New Theatre's staff will transfer to become HQ Theatres employees.
