Ryde Theatre and Town Hall, Grade II listed theatre in Ryde, England
The neoclassical structure on Lind Street features a symmetrical main block with five bays, Doric columns, and a prominent clock tower added in 1867.
The foundation stone was laid in 1830, and the building opened as a market hall in 1831 before becoming the headquarters of Ryde Borough Council.
The first floor was transformed into a performance venue in 1991, complete with decorative plasterwork, a proscenium arch, and a balcony for theatrical productions.
The local government acquired a three-year lease in 2020 to initiate restoration plans, with estimated repair costs exceeding 2.4 million pounds.
The building contained an organ installed to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, which remained a central feature of the main hall.
