Historic South Shields theatre set to reopen to the public following ‘essential improvement works’
The Customs House is set to reopen to members of the public.
The historic Customs House theatre set to welcome the public back through its doors following a closure period to allow for “essential building improvement works”.
It’s part of ongoing investment at The Customs House, with the closure period allowing for the building’s “long-serving” boiler system to be removed and replaced with a new, modern heating system.
The theatre has previously confirmed that the work is part of a wider programme of improvements ahead of major refurbishment plans next year.
The Customs House has confirmed that it is set to reopen to the public on Saturday, August 1.
To coincide with the reopening, the venue is preparing to host its summer series of events, which are held along the South Shields riverside.
Catered for families and theatre fans alike, the range of free activities will all take place at the venue’s external amphitheatre.
