Eastbourne Borough Council confirmed the ‘£750,000 repairs and maintenance programme’ is starting.
The venue is a much-loved local asset and this essential work will ensure it can open again in Spring 2023, the council spokesperson said.
Herald photographer Justin Lycett went to check out the state of the site on Tuesday (July 12), as well as heading under the stage.
