Wolverhampton Halls set to re-open for a second successful season
The Halls is set to re-open next month after a successful first season which is estimated to have boosted the economy in Wolverhampton by £1.6m.
The revamped Civic Halls burst back into life in May, marking the end of an eight year renovation project to the tune of £48m.
It saw 25 shows staged between May 26 and July 13, with Britpop legends Blur marking its official reopening with a sell-out show.
After a hiatus during August, a full programme of music, comedy and live events is planned for the rest of 2023.
Highlights during September include Mrs Brown's Boys - Mrs Brown Rides again, multi million selling pop star Seal and Dexys as well as Russell Brand who will be performing stand up comedy show Bipolarisation. It will culminate with the 27th anniversary of Blast Off, with indie classics set to entertain a sell out crowd at The Halls and the Wulfrun Hall next door.
The Halls is estimated to have attracted more than 50,000 visitors to the city since May with 20 per cent of sales coming from Wolverhampton postcodes, 60 per cent from the wider region and 20 per cent from other parts of the UK and international visitors.
