Enjoyed visiting the London Coliseum with @frankmatchamsoc.bsky.social. yesterday. It has a Roman theme from ‘Hail’ in the foyer, lavish use of gold & marble, a fabulous winged beast newel post (with Edwardian moustache) through to a victory figure and leaping lions in the auditorium. #Matcham #ENO

East Herts Sabs have secured a second Community Protection Warning against the Puckeridge & Essex Hunt, after months of gathering evidence of illegal hunting, trespass and badger sett interference. And huntsman Rhys Matcham has been charged with illegal hunting after a deer was taken down by hounds.

Built in 1901 by 'Matchless' Frank Matcham, a power house for the arts, the Hackney Empire is superb. Famously brilliant pantomime every year, saw English Touring Opera's fab G&S 'The Gondoliers'on Saturday gone.

A closer look at Hackney Empire — Frank Matcham at his exuberant best.

Opened in 1901, its sumptuous auditorium combines theatrical splendour with remarkably innovative engineering. More than 125 years later, this Grade II* listed Matcham masterpiece remains a working theatre.

What a wonderful afternoon! 🎭 Our members were treated to a fascinating and informative tour of the magnificent Hackney Empire, a resplendent Frank Matcham palace and one of London's finest surviving variety theatres. Huge thanks to the team at @hackneyempire.bsky.social for welcoming us so warmly

Having already commissioned a building from Baird & Thomson, the Central Halls Co quickly incorporated a theatre, designed by a young Frank Matcham, into their new development.

Victoria quarter of Leeds has some rather splendid Edwardian buildings by Frank Matcham, an architect mainly famous for his theatres. Sketch done sitting on a bench opposite with some drunks keeping an eye on my progress. #urbansketching #leeds #sketching #frankmatcham

Born on this day in 1854, Frank Matcham went on to design or refurbish over 150 theatres with his magnificent theatrical flare 🤩
Sadly, only around 30 survive.
How many of them have you visited?
