The Grange Festival's theatre was refurbished in 2017 at a cost of £1 million following the removal of seats and equipment by the previous tenants.

Cameron Mackintosh, Britain’s greatest theatre impresario, heard news of our stripped-out theatre and made an incredibly generous gift to us of 390 stalls seats from the Victoria Palace Theatre. These seats, all with arm rests, make the theatre more comfortable than ever before.

Cameron said: “I am delighted that the renovation of the Victoria Palace in London, which will be home to the American musical “Hamilton” at the end of November this year (2017), has enabled us to donate the original seats to The Grange Festival. I am sure once The Grange Festival has re-upholstered them in glamorous blue velvet they will continue to cosset appreciative audiences just as they did during their long run of “Billy Elliot” at the Victoria Palace and I wish The Grange Festival continued success.”
