Amphitheatre Update

Carrickfergus Amphitheatre will re-open on Thursday 8 December 2011 at 6.30am after a short temporary closure to facilitate a deep cleanse of the facility.

The specialist cleaning was undertaken following the discovery during a routine, independent survey of the facility’s water system of a potential problem caused by build up of sediment in water tanks which, if left untreated, might have provided a harbour for harmful organisms.

A spokesman for Carrickfergus Borough Council thanked the public for their forbearance during the closure and said, “While, inevitably, the closure caused some disappointment and inconvenience, customers recognised and appreciated our determination to maintain the highest possible standards at Amphitheatre, as demonstrated by the speed and thoroughness of our actions over the weekend. We are delighted to have completed remedial work and look forward to being re-opened for business as usual on Thursday 8 December 2011.”
