AMBITIOUS £8million plans to rejuvenate Southend’s Cliffs Pavilion are set to win approval to bolster its reputation as one of the finest theatres in South East England.
Here is some CGI images of what the theatre will be transformed into if plans are approved.
The rejuvenation plan would see an expansion of the current restaurant, catering for 158 guests compared to a previous 100.
A modern, brighter, more welcoming entrance and lobby, a stunning new outdoor plaza are also planned,in addition to improvement work to the bar, toilets, and lifts.
Southend Council’s planning officers have recommended approval of the bold new scheme.
As there are no plans to change the auditorium or back of house, the theatre will remain open during the work.
