"Wilton’s is a place that is very dear to my heart and I am thrilled that Wilton’s is so close to being saved once and for all. Please help us in reaching our final target by donating to our Public Appeal and save this remarkable building.”
David Suchet, Patron of Wilton’s Capital Project
Phase 1
The major works in the auditorium on the roofs, basement, soundproofing, ventilation and electrics are now complete with the £1.1 million needed successfully raised.
A Monumental moment for Wilton's but the journey
doesn't end there...
Phase 2
The vital works on the row of 5 Georgian Houses that make up the front of house areas now need to be tackled. These houses suffer from damp, rot, subsidence, dereliction, crumbling walls, floorless rooms, leaking roofs and failing brick and mortar work.
Phase 2 will not only secure these houses with no more leaky roofs, rooms without floors or walls falling down it will also thrillingly open up the possibilities to us and breathe new life into the building by the creation of 4 new studios spaces meaning we are able to:
Increase our wonderful artistic programme with the opportunity to rehearse more ambitious productions in our new studio spaces and develop smaller, more intimate performances for around the building
Offer Primary and Secondary School children the chance to take part in special performance and heritage projects
Broaden the heritage work we do with more Guided Tours and a John Wilton’s Room where people can discover all about the Music Hall and the surrounding area
Offer local people and beyond the chance to engage in an annual community event of performance, film, music and storytelling
Be open all day for coffees, lunches and meetings with a vibrant bar and café
Shoot more blockbuster Hollywood films, marry people and host events and meetings with a more secure building and additional spaces. A vital source of income for Wilton’s to help us survive.
