Plans have been confirmed to transform Tropicana into an 8,000 capacity open-air arena - and work will start this summer. Council chiefs estimate between £6-7million will be spent on the seafront venue, which is just 45 minutes from Bristol.
Workers are expected to start after Weston's main 2023 summer season ends. The move comes after the council was awarded £20 million in Government ‘levelling up’ funding, a large slice of which will be spent on the Tropicana.
Improvements include a new heating system, additional fire exits and new toilets at the site. It is understood there will also be improvements to the Bay Café.
