A Keswick theatre has confirmed that its building is safe amidst the schools concrete scandal.
Theatre by the Lake has carried out a precautionary structural survey with its facilities management contractors who have confirmed its safety.
It comes as several theatres across the UK have closed due to their buildings containing RAAC concrete.
Simon Stephens, executive director and joint CEO of Theatre by the Lake, said: “We know we are low risk due to the year our theatre was built, however, we have conducted a visual inspection and consulted the building’s structural documents and have no reason for concern at this stage.
“We will remain vigilant and continue to ensure the safety of our audiences, artists, volunteers and staff.”
Theatre by the Lake was built in 1999, funded by the community, and officially opened by Dame Judi Dench and her late husband Michael Williams in December of that year.
