£14.4m Scunthorpe venue officially unveiled
Scunthorpe's new £14.4m Baths Hall venue, which will play host to a programme of music, theatre, comedy and dance events, has been officially unveiled today (7 November).
North Lincolnshire Council's (NLC) own architects led the design of the complex, which is located on the site of the former Scunthorpe Youth Centre and the old Baths Hall.
Built by Clugston Construction, the venue has retained the frontage of the 1930s Baths Hall and boasts an auditorium accommodating more than 1,000 seated and up to 2,000 standing.
SMG Group, the operator of sports and entertainment venues across the UK and Europe, is to run the new Baths Hall on behalf of the local authority.
SMG's Nick Reed said: "This is a very special time to be involved in The Baths Hall. Today we're opening a building to be enjoyed over many years to come.
"We're also aware we're following in the footsteps of a venue that meant many different things to many different people over the last seventy years."
NLC deputy leader John Briggs added: "The council has worked closely with operators SMG to ensure this venue really takes off. The Baths Hall is a state-of-the-art building that will hold some fantastic events."
