so this explore was a last restore explore after failing two others on the day and this location being given to us by a friend we thought we'd might as well check it out as we was only half hour away.
After a unlucky day we finally got some luck when we got into this location.
I have never explored a theatre before so when we got inside i was so excited and couldn't get over how stunning the place was. the architecture in the place is just amazing and we spent around 4 hours here which considering how small the place is was a long time haha. The Hippodrome was last used as a theatre in the 1960s; from the mid-1970s until its closure in 1988 it was used as a bingo hall. Since then most of the building has remained empty, and it has been placed on Manchester City Council's Buildings at Risk Register.
it was a surreal experience to be in a building with such history and to stand on the same stage as so many of the great performers who performed there did such as The Beatles, Laurel and Hardy, and Nina Simone among other stars who performed at venue
