Chichester Festival Theatre
The Steven Pimlott Education and Rehearsal Building
Chichester Festival Theatre is one of the United
Kingdom's flagship theatres, with a dazzling international
reputation for producing a wide range of theatrical
productions, from musicals and comedies, to classic
drama and innovative new writing.
The project consisted of the demolition of the “Gunters”
Restaurant block and the construction within Oaklands
Park of a single storey building of 425m2 floor area
providing space for Education and Rehearsal facilities.
A unique feature of the building is the emphasis on use of
timber for construction and cladding, particularly the
structural superstructure that was prefabricated and
imported from mainland Europe and erected by the
manufacturer within two weeks of delivery. The work was
undertaken by a local Contractor and recently completed
in time for the Theatres’ Autumn Programme.
This will be a place where artists are able to work together
with the community and provide an active and creative
working space for Chichester.
