The group of Greater Manchester locals who have been battling to save the Hulme Hippodrome have launched a Crowdfunding campaign to protect the historic venue.<\/p>\n

The new-look Hulme Hippodrome would also have a cafe, library and book store, a bike hub and workshop, and a community wellbeing centre.<\/p>\n

It’s not yet known the reason for the lot being withdrawn in advance, but a campaign group is now scrambling to get the venue into community ownership.<\/p>\n

The Hippodrome is believed to have a viable future by the Theatres Trust if it is rescued in time.<\/p>\n

The neighbouring Playhouse theatre was saved and is\u00a0now home to NIAMOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Crowdfunding campaign launched just yesterday has already reached more than 50 per cent of its target of \u00a310,000….<\/p>\n
