Grand Pavilion

Matlock Bath, United Kingdom

The Grand Pavilion, Matlock Bath, is an Edwardian building in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire, England, built in 1910 and currently run by the local community and operated by their own charitable company. In 2010, Derbyshire Dales District Council started a consultation that looked at disposal of the building from their ownership this action put the building future at risk and in response to this treat a local community action group, Save the Pavilion Group, was created to save the building. The Save the Pavilion Group were successful in extending the consultation deadline which allow them to create a feasibility study that looked at how the building could be protected and safeguarded in the future by returning the building to its original use as a theatre, music and entertainment venue with a community function for the local population. The feasibility Study was accepted by Derbyshire Dales District Council in 2012 and it was agreed that the Save the Pavilion Group would take on the lease of the building. In the same year the Save the Pavilion Group was renamed The Grand Pavilion Ltd and was registered both as an Ltd company and a charity.
