Stage set for hall revamp

WORK will start on the first £400,000 phase of the transformation of Great Harwood’s historic Mercer Hall leisure complex later this summer.

The schedule has a view to the building fully reopening in December with a pantomime.

The initial stage of the process involves comprehensive preliminary works, including detailed measurements, asbestos assessments, and technical designs to accommodate new flooring and furnishings in the main hall and front entrance.

A key feature of the renovation will be the reinstatement of the grand doors leading into the reinstated hall and events space created by covering the former swimming pool.
