Successful Campaigns

Thanks to you the campaign was a success and the buildings have been saved! We haven't stopped there, working with architect John Burrell we have devised a scheme to bring the buildings back into use, addressing Kings' concerns, and improve the urban environment around them. We are preparing the scheme as a publication of several drawings that will be distributed in hard copy and as an e-brochure in September. Please see the front cover of the alternative scheme here: https://savebritblog.wordpress.com/2015/08/26/saves-alternative-scheme-for-the-strand-site-with-architect-john-burrell/

UPDATE - 27/06/15 - You may already have heard the great news that the new owner of the Brighton Hippodrome, Academy Music Group (AMG), has given us a six-month window to move forward with plans for restoration of this magnificent building. We will now be working on developing the business proposition. You will be able to follow the ongoing progress of the project at ourhippodrome.org.uk Thanks again for all your support. It means a lot to us—and to the Hippodrome!
