Plymouth’s £47m cultural centre The Box is aiming to attract 200,000 visitors in the next year and establish itself as a major visitor attraction.
The Box pulled in 125,000 visitors during 2021 but has not had a full year of operation without a Covid-related shut down since it was completed in early 2020.
But the February half term week was very busy with 20,000 visitors and now new chief executive Victoria Pomery is looking at attracting 10 times that number during 2022/23, its first financial year without restrictions.
