The dilapidated art-deco theatre has been closed for 30 years. Now, the team behind Village Underground are planning on restoring the arts space
The team behind East London’s venue Village Underground are putting forward a proposal for public consultation – and you can voice your support.
Hackney Arts Centre first opened in 1936 in Stoke Newington. Having discovering the rusted art-deco theatre, the team now propose to restore the space and turn it into a multipurpose venue for art, music, theatre, lectures, talks and more.
Village Underground have told Resident Advisor, “It’s incredible that you can still make discoveries like that in today’s London. We’ve been working on the project for over a year. We want to breathe life back into this historical building and restore it back to its intended use, a major cultural and community space for Hackney and for London.”
You can find more information on how to support the proposal here. Letters must reach Hackney Council by 4pm on 14 April.
