The King’s Theatre has launched a campaign to save the iconic venue after a funding bid from the UK Government was unsuccessful.
After the City of Edinburgh Council’s appeal for the government's Levelling Up failed, Capital Theatres have said the Grade A listed building risks being closed for good. After a redevelopment project was announced in August, the funding gap has faced the King’s future in danger.
£26 million has already been successfully raised, though the project is set to cost an estimated £8.9m more. If the money is not found within 35 days, the building will be signed over to contractors.
