It is with shock that I read this morning that The Colonnade Bar (which opened in 1806) in Brighton is to close in June 2023.
Seemingly the Theatre Royal (next door) want to have a larger foyer, and have therefore decided that the bar which they rent to the Golden Lion Group must go.
The Colonnade is a listed building.
Full details are available on the Colonnade's Facebook page.
If you feel, as I do, that this is wrong please drop the Theatre Royal a note via this link:
