City venue has 'so much potential' say new operators

The operator taking over a closed city venue that once hosted The Beatles has said the site has got "potential".

Music Entertainment Culture and Arts (MECA) will be running Salisbury City Hall after signing a lease agreement with Wiltshire Council, with plans for an opening night in late August.

The venue has been closed for a number of years and was last used as a vaccination centre during the pandemic.

Justin Britchford from MECA said that part of their work includes increasing the numbers of bars and re-opening the Fisherton Street entrance.
