LATEST UPDATE ON LEASE RENEWAL November 2026
Following the Council meeting, we arranged a visit to the Theatre from the Head of Property & The Council Head of Regeneration, planning and Property. We showed them the site, and had a long discussion regarding what could be done with the site. We received an apology for the original valuation, although the rent review still is proceeding, ELTC has made a number of proposals to the Council and we will meet with them again shortly.
The Club has now served the court papers on the Council, and they have asked for a 12 month stay in execution while we continue to discuss our new space plans.
We are currently awaiting a new Heads of Terms for a 10 year lease.

Joining us to help ensure a future for all.
For theatres such as East Lane, there is so much more to what happens behind the scenes than putting on a performance.
Theatres like ours are places where friendships are formed, confidence grows, skills are shared, and people of all ages and backgrounds can come together through a shared love of the arts.
At a time when community connections and opportunities to participate in the arts are more important than ever.
Supporting your local theatre doesn't just mean buying a ticket and enjoying a show. It means recognising the work that goes on behind the scenes, encouraging others to get involved, volunteering your time or skills, and helping to ensure that these creative spaces remain part of our communities for generations to come.
ELTC has been here for over 90 years, and it's only with your help that it stays for 90 more.
