Capital Theatre will replace the former Debenhams store at Westfield, featuring a 600-person capacity theatre. It has received planning permission and licensing to operate until 1 am, with a focus on providing a unique experience rather than a typical alcohol-fueled venue. Despite some community objections, the theatre aims to enhance local culture with immersive performances, including a dining experience during shows like Dirty Dancing. The developers, Karl Sydow and Adam Kenwright, express enthusiasm for contributing to the local arts scene.
The intention of Capital Theatre is not to be alcohol-led, fostering a safer environment for community engagement while providing entertainment.
The Licensing Committee received four objections, highlighting concerns around safety and increased alcohol consumption in the area.
