At the corner of the cluster of buildings around Nevill Holt Hall, the long ironstone block, crenellated and pedimented, is quite grand for a stable. For a theatre, on the other hand, it is compact and intimate.
The construction of a new opera theatre, within the stable block of the Grade I listed Nevill Holt Hall, required a very experienced and skilful team.
Messenger was awarded the contract to construct the superstructure and manage the specialist fit out works to the new opera theatre. This was the perfect showcase, allowing the team to put to great use the in house skills of their heritage carpenters, masons, stone slate roofers and experienced project management team.
Passive Fire Protection elements included in project works.
