A £7,000 grant from the Theatres Trust will support Brighton Hippodrome CIC to address the planning issues and legal deliberations around the restoration of the Hippodrome, a large-scale Frank Matcham-designed circus-theatre. The building is "the finest surviving example of its type in the country" and has been on the Theatres Trust’s Theatres at Risk Register since the list began in 2006. It is now reportedly up for sale again by the company that was planning for it to become a boutique hotel with shops.
