    Brief

    Guildford Borough Council is seeking an experienced operator or leaseholder to manage the Electric Theatre, a historic building originally constructed as an electricity works in 1913 and converted to a theatre in 1997. The venue is currently vacant, and the Council is responsible for all holding costs. Technical surveys and community engagement have confirmed strong cultural value and community support for continued use as an arts and performance space. The Council is conducting preliminary market engagement to assess operator interest and capacity before finalizing the procurement approach and requirements. This notice invites interested cultural, community, and commercial operators to express their capacity and appetite to operate the venue on a lease or concession basis. This is a preliminary engagement exercise and does not commit the Council to proceeding with a formal procurement process.
