Theatre bar 'gutted' after being denied £200k funding for disabled access
Owners of a popular theatre in Manchester said they are 'gutted' after the venue was turned down for Arts Council funding to improve access for disabled people. Simon Naylor, creative director of 53two, said that plans to extend its theatre space and put in a ‘Changing Places’ toilet facility, one of only a handful in the city, will be put on hold after the bid for £200,000 was turned down.
