Cllr Julia McShane, Leader of the Council, said:
"These activities offer a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together and help shape the future for the Electric Theatre. I'm excited to hear your ideas and see how we can bring this special space back to life. Together we can determine what happens next."
We are committed to exploring how this cherished community arts and theatre venue can continue to serve Guildford. The aim is to find a future that reflects the needs of the community, which can be maintained effectively for many years to come.
We are currently assessing the condition of the building to understand what needs to be done before the Electric Theatre can be used again.
