Restoring the Morecambe Winter Gardens

In its heyday, Morecambe Winter Gardens was a sparkling example of the entertainment venues that were the essence of English seaside towns. With lavish interiors and striking features, the original complex combined swimming baths, an aquarium, winter gardens and restaurants.

After a decline in English seaside holidays, by 1982, the whole complex was closed to the public. The only remaining part is the theatre, which dates back to 1897.

With help from the Culture Recovery Fund, the Morecambe Winter Gardens Preservation Trust and the dedicated group of volunteers are a step closer to achieving their aim: to fully restore and reopen the glorious Grade II* building, so it can be at the heart of Morecambe once again.
