Heritage Lottery Fund statement – Wilton’s Music Hall, London
Carole Souter, Chief Executive of HLF, said: “Wilton’s Music Hall is a unique and precious part of our theatrical heritage. The Trust’s plans were well articulated and ranked highly for our support.
"However, this was a competitive round of funding – three times over-subscribed - and, in spite of huge enthusiasm for the project, we simply did not have enough money to fund it in this round as other projects were even stronger.
"We will be meeting with Trust representatives shortly in order to provide feedback and discuss the best way forward."
Background
To date, HLF has made 215 awards in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets totalling £58.6m.
