HT to lead on St George's Guildhall 24.05.23

Haworth Tompkins has been announced as the lead on the multi-disciplinary team for the St George's Guildhall and Creative Hub project in King's Lynn. The Guildhall, owned by the National Trust, is the country's oldest working theatre and the only theatre still surviving in which Shakespeare is believed to have performed. Led by the Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk, the redevelopment is set to transform the Guildhall and surrounding buildings into a nationally important cultural heritage site. HT are collaborating with Richard Griffiths Architects on the conservation of the Grade I listed buildings along with a team including Charcoalblue, Momentum and Max Fordham. Stakeholder and community engagement and consultation will take place throughout the project, which is due to be completed in 2026.
