Dominic, Chair of HYT talking about the proposed changes to the Princes Street Car Park

Huntingdonshire District Council and Capital and Centric have proposed plans to CLOSE Princes Street car park, turning it into residential flats. Effectively removing all parking spaces from the rear of our venue.

You don't need us to tell you all how this could SERIOUSLY impact our future.


CALLING OUR COMMUNITY
We have been notified of plans from Capital & Centric and Huntingdonshire District Council for Huntingdon that would include the closure of Princes Street car park at the rear of our venue, developing it into residential flats.

We vehemently oppose these plans.

Princes Street car park is the main car park for our venue, our customers and visitors to our town centre. The car park provides local, safe and accessible parking for our audience members and our performers.

Removal of this car park could seriously jeopardise the sustainability and long-term viability of the Commemoration Hall. We urge all of our families to complete the survey below.
There is also a public consultation with Capital and Centric on

MONDAY 17th AUGUST
4-7pm in the Olmo Lounge, Huntingdon.

We will be attending to hear firsthand why this scheme has come about and what considerations have been given to us as a venue, who were not consulted in any way prior to this scheme being announced.

The Commemoration Hall charity strives to protect the arts and inspire creativity in our town and it's community. Our venue is seen as a lifeline to many, combating loneliness, isolation and giving social interaction to many. They also provide a gateway into the arts through our resident theatre groups, Huntingdon Drama Club Huntingdon Youth Theatre and Heartfelt Productions.

This scheme places a very real threat on our future. It removes parking for our audiences, safe space to drop off and pick up our members.

As you will see, there is a public engagement event which I urge ALL families to attend and speak up about the plans. Please tell all your friends and contacts about this plan and how it will impact the Commemoration Hall and the future of HYT..

Bold architecture, green spaces and walkable streets create a vibrant new neighbourhood inspired by Huntingdon's heritage.

📢 ** IMPORTANT UPDATE ** 📢

To look after the health of our audience, cast, crew and volunteers during this spell of exceptionally warm weather the start time of the performance is being put back by 30 minutes for the next 3 nights. We believe this will allow the temperature to drop by a couple of degrees, giving everyone a little more relief from the heat.

The Comedy of Errors is Shakespeare’s shortest comedy so the performances should finish by 10.15pm, in line with many of our previous productions.

We apologise if this causes any inconvenience but the decision has been made with everyone’s best interests at heart.

Remaining performances of The Comedy of Errors will continue as scheduled.

For tickets, please visit https://www.ticketsource.com/satt

Break a leg! 😎🎭

Good news - The Comedy of Errors opens at 7.30pm tonight at Buckden Towers and if you’re coming along, please be prepared for the hot weather.

The Knot Garden is a beautiful setting but, as with any open air theatre, we strongly recommend:

Wearing a hat 👒🧢
Applying suntan cream 🧴
Keeping hydrated – please, please take plenty of water into the auditorium with you 🫗

We want everyone to enjoy the performance and will continue to monitor the weather forecast to make sure that everyone stays safe and comfortable. Opening night is always exciting but please speak to one of our volunteer stewards on site if you have any concerns.

And there's still time to join us - tickets for the run are available from https://www.ticketsource.com/satt or on the door this evening 😀
