A different view of the future Alexandra Arts Centre 👀

These latest drone shots really show the scale of progress happening on site — and it’s exciting to see the building beginning to take shape from above
There’s still a long way to go, but every week brings another visible step forward towards creating a new home for arts, creativity and community in Bognor Regis.

Thanks to Paul Wells for these fantastic shots!

Huge thanks to Storm Lighting for generously donating lighting equipment to the future Alexandra Arts Centre.

It’s a bit of a full circle moment — our Vice Chair first did work experience and toured with Storm back in the early 2000s, so seeing that support come back into a community arts project like this means a lot.

We’re not quite at the stage of rigging the theatre yet, but early support like this genuinely helps build momentum and belief in what we’re creating for Bognor Regis.

“Community projects like this only happen because people and businesses choose to get behind them. Support like this from Storm Lighting is hugely appreciated and shows the power of the wider events and production industry giving back.” – Ollie Jeffery, Vice Chair

This project is about opportunity, creativity, skills, local pride, and creating a venue for future generations — and it’s fantastic to have Storm Lighting alongside us on the journey.

Here's the latest update on our build. It will be so fantastic to have that new roof! No more leaks in the wings thank goodness! Which we're sure some of our performers remember with fondness... 🤣

Work on the redevelopment of the Alexandra Theatre in Bognor Regis has made steady progress throughout January across the new extension and existing theatre building.
