The Enmore Theatre was announced the winner of the Marrickville Medal for Conservation and commended for Interior Adaption at the recent Inner West Council’s 2022 Built Environment Awards.

The Marrickville Medal for Conservation has been awarded annually since 1995 and was one of the first of its kind in New South Wales. It celebrates built conservation works that contribute to the understanding and preservation of the Inner West’s rich cultural and architectural heritage.

In March 2020, the pandemic saw the Enmore forced to close its doors. With the stage dark, it provided the venue’s owners, Century Venues, an opportunity to bring forward a planned restoration of the iconic Newtown venue.
