Plans Submitted To Refurbish The Orangery In Manchester
Plans to refurbish the Orangery in Heaton Park have been submitted to Manchester City council.
The plans will see the Orangery, last open in 2012, undergo an refurbishment overhaul to bring the building back into use.
The planned works to the interior of the Orangery are the latest in the continued investment in the Hall which saw the Council and Historic England invest over £2.1m in 2018-19 in works to the external fabric of this Grade 1 listed building to ensure it remains wind and weathertight.
The work to the Orangery which is part of the Grade 1 listed Heaton Hall, will focus on new flooring, a full redecoration, new doors, upgraded toilets and a full overhaul of the electrical and heating systems including a new low carbon air source heat pump in line with the council's commitment to become zero carbon by 2038.
Manchester City Council would work with Construction partner Manchester and Cheshire Construction on this first fix to fit out the building which would take approximately five months to complete leaving a blank canvas for any future operating partner.
This work is the culmination of work where the Council has engaged with the market to look at what Orangery could do in the future and realise it's incredible potential, and this will include identifying the right operational partner to help to deliver this ambition of a high-quality dining and event space right in the heart of Heaton Park.
