A CLOAKROOM at the Wyvern Theatre will be shut until Autumn.

Theatre bosses say it has been closed so the facility can be moved to the upper foyer, as part of refurbishment work intended to extend the bar provision.

But no interim cloakroom, where audience members can store their coats and bags, has been made available.

Derek Alridge, theatre director, said: "The current weather means this is the best time to make these changes as customers are not bringing coats with them at the moment."
