The Tivoli Theatre is amongst more than 2,700 recipients to benefit from the latest round of awards from the £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund, having just been awarded £144,474.

Charlie North Lewis, general manager of the Wimborne theatre said, “We are absolutely thrilled and relieved to receive this award, which will help the Tivoli to re-open and recover the loss of income over the past year and during the coming year, whilst the industry gets back on its feet and public confidence is restored.

“We also want to thank all those who have donated to our Help the Tivoli Appeal which now stands at almost £69,000.  These funds have been crucial in keeping the Theatre going during the past year and we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to all our wonderful supporters.”

More than £300 million has been awarded to thousands of cultural organisations across the country. Over £800 million in grants and loans has already been awarded to support almost 3,800 cinemas, performance venues, museums, heritage sites and other cultural organisations dealing with the immediate challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.
