Cheshire arts venue set for major revamp

Ellesmere Port’s Whitby Hall, a 15-roomed Victorian house in which Action Transport Theatre is based, will begin a £4.8m renovation after proposals were approved by Cheshire West and Chester Council. The project – to be delivered in partnership with the design and construction team that delivered the Storyhouse project – will upgrade the foyer and café areas, and add a new studio and workshop space.
