2k seater hall with bars set for Ebrington
ILEX has applied for permission to build a huge new auditorium in Ebrington with bars and seating for over 2k people in time for Londonderry City of Culture 2013.
The local regeneration company wants to build the ‘Vital Venue’ adjacent to Ebrington Square in a space bounded by Limavady Road, St Columb’s Road and Building 80-81 which is expected to host the Turner Prize next year.
The plans indicate the “temporary demountable structure for events” will be over 5,000 square metres in area.
