Theatre sold again, this time to a large church
We heard on 29th June that the theatre freehold was to be sold again, and this was confirmed on Friday 1st July. The property company Hold Land South East Ltd who recently bought the theatre for £2.76m as a medium to long term investment have sold the building on to Ruach City Church for £4m.
The church plan to use the theatre to relocate from their current Brixton Hill church – they announced the purchase at their gathering on Sunday 3rd July – you can see the video here.
Obviously this will affect the campaign! We will need to understand more about the circumstances, engage with the various organisations supporting the campaign, and reach out to Ruach to understand their plans and their implications.
Please do come along to our AGM where we can provide the latest information and talk about how we move forward.
