Biography - The Forum Theatre 
UK
Part of Malvern Theatres (Complex) since a rebuild in the 1990's
A rather 'complex' story for this current venue.
Like The Fairfield Halls (plural) in Croydon but perhaps more complex!
A quick visit to the official website and looking at at other pages shows how the area developed. Malvern Theatres search goes direct to same website.
The story begins in 1845 as The Assembly Rooms, changing to The Festival Theatre (800+) in 1929 with The Winter Gardens (900+) openning in the park nearby. These two soon became as Malvern Theatres (ver 1).
Closures due to WWll, and refits in the early 60's and 70's brought about the 1980's version;-
1 - The Festival Theatre
2- The Winter Gardens
3- Great Malvern Priory, (600+), Church Street, Malvern, WR14 2AY.
4 - Martin Rogers Theatre, (450), possibly at Malvern College, as a 2022 college page shows a Rogers Theatre (273) there.
With The Winter Gardens closing in 1990 an entirely new complex was built in the late 1990's bringing (ver 3);-
1 - The Festival Theatre (850), bigger; plays, classical; musicals.
2 - Forum (600?), music performance.
3 - Cinema (400)
4 - Banquet Room (350), conference; weddings; private funtions.
This is not definitive and only my summary from info I have found on line. I think more details could be sought by calling the venue itself one day.
