HertfordTheatre_Existing2019

Hertford Theatre project will take three years

Bennetts Associates has been appointed by East Herts Council to design the £13.5m expansion of the Hertford Theatre.

The 1977 theatre stands beside the River Lea and underwent a £1m revamp from St Albans practice Briffa Phillips in 2010.

Bennetts’ project will see the theatre add three cinema screens, a 150-seat studio and more seats in the existing 400-seat auditorium. It will also add a riverside bar and improve access to all areas.
