Liverpool's Epstein Theatre has confirmed it is closing its doors for good.
The team behind the Epstein Theatre on Hanover Street has announced that the cultural space will close on Friday June 30. This follows a decision by Liverpool City Council to end its financial support which helped to sustain the venue.
In 2018 an agreement was struck between Epstein Entertainments Ltd, Liverpool City Council and a commercial property landlord which owns the lease to the building but sub-leases the theatre back to the entertainment company. As part of the management agreement, the council was to cover a proportion of the rent, service charge, utilities, and maintenance work.
