The Queens Theatre, Burslem

Background

This Grade II Listed building, located in the heart of Burslem town centre, was completed in 1911. Originally planned as a replacement town hall for Burslem, this function became obsolete before completion with the federation of Stoke-on-Trent as a city being established. The Queens Hall was an operational theatre and concert hall for many years, and still hosts a main auditorium, stage, and lobby with tiered seating on a first-floor balcony.

Opportunity

A feasibility study for the property has recently been completed, which recommends the building’s use as a multi-purpose space (potentially for large-scale weddings) and the adjacent Princes Hall as multi-use or even residential apartments.
