Neilcott Construction leads rejuvenation of Alexandra Theatre in Bognor Regis
Following the appointment of Neilcott Construction as the principal contractor for the redevelopment of the Alexandra Theatre, significant progress has been made on site.
In close collaboration with Arun District Council, Neilcott Construction is currently finalising detailed design plans to enhance the theatre's facilities and infrastructure. Neilcott Construction is now on site at the theatre and site set up and early work has begun.
Plans for the theatre and the wider regeneration area will bring new investment, footfall and economic benefit into the town for the local resident and business community.
A key focus of the current phase is planning the construction timeline to minimise disruption to the Regis Centre car park and Place St Maur. This careful approach underscores Neilcott Construction's commitment to ensuring a smooth transition throughout the project.
Arun District Council is set to unveil further details about the construction programme in the coming weeks, with strip-out and part-demolition works beginning on site before Christmas. The anticipated reopening of the Alexandra Theatre is scheduled for mid-2026.
Cllr Martin Lury, Leader of Arun District Council, said: We are delighted to have started works on the rejuvenation of Alexandra Theatre, the first of a series of projects which will transform Bognor Regis town centre over the next few years. We look forward to welcoming audiences, performers and artistes to our new theatre.
"We are pleased with the steady progress made so far and look forward to sharing more details as we approach the next phase of this exciting project," remarked John Papworth, Regional Director at Neilcott Construction.
