Restoring The Armstrong is a major community project. The total cost of bringing the building fully back into use is £2.6 million.

​

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, £1.5 million has already been raised. This funding is supporting essential restoration work. This includes refurbishing The Cossham Hall, redesigning the Foyer into a vibrant and welcoming area, improving thermal insulation and installing environmentally sustainable heating.

​

Whats next?

To reopen the main hall, now known as the Lansdown Hall, we still need to raise £1.1 million.

​

This funding will allow us to:

• Install new flooring

• Improve roof insulation to reduce energy costs

• Introduce environmentally friendly heating

• Upgrade dressing rooms

• Improve technical facilities for performances and events

• Improve the overall ambiance and enjoyment of your experience with us.

​

Why your support matters

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. 

When many people contribute what they can, it shows major funders just how much this venue means to the community. That collective support strengthens our case for grants and ensures funders know their investment will have lasting impact.
