@ Victoria Hall Saltaire
Listing Details
‘Saltaire is named after philanthropist Sir Titus Salt and the River Aire, which flows at the bottom of the village, near Roberts Park ... Inspired by opulent 15th century architecture, and commissioned by Sir Titus Salt as a “centre for recreation, culture and learning” for his villagers, Victoria Hall was designed by architects Lockwood and Mawson and opened in 1871 ... We’re proud to be home to Yorkshire’s finest Wurlitzer Cinema Organ, managed by the Cinema Organ Society. The Wurlitzer is beneath the Main Hall stage, with an array of beautiful pipework permanently sited under the stage, and the console rising on a hydraulic lift for performances and concerts ... The Cinema Organ Society promote regular theatre organ concerts and dances by top British and international artists, as well as by younger up-and-coming players. In addition to regular monthly events, the Wurlitzer is played several times a month by members of the society.‘
