Plans for a £5m scheme to transform Skegness Pier and the Embassy Theatre have been approved by councillors. The rejuvenation plans, funded by Arts Council England, will improve the area for holidaymakers and residents.
The first phase of the redevelopment, led by the Mellors Group, will see the Skegness Pier be transformed into a new visitor attraction and cultural platform. A new multi-use amphitheatre space will be built on the pier and abandoned beach huts will be salvaged and restored, reports Lincolnshire Live.
There will also be improvements to the pier's façade that will include renewed lighting and furniture. Over on Grand Parade, the theatre's auditorium and dressing rooms will be refurbished while VIP boxes will be installed alongside creative workspaces.
