Happy 100 Alhambra

The Alhambra Theatre, regarded as the North's premier touring venue hosting the best in large scale entertainment from ballet and opera to variety and comedy, musicals, drama and Yorkshire's biggest panto is 100 years old today
The Alhambra Theatre, the jewel in Bradford’s crown, was the vision of Francis Laidler, a local impresario.  Laidler had the idea and vision to build a brand new theatre in 1912 and it was two years later that his dream was realised.
The Alhambra Theatre was officially opened at 2pm on 18 March 1914.  Five days later, it opened its doors to the general public on 23 March for a Variety show, which ran for a week.
Through the golden age of variety, the 1980’s refurbishment and up to the present day, the Alhambra Theatre has had a wonderful and varied history.  It remains an iconic venue, attracting the very best in star names and live entertainment to the city of Bradford.
And many Ferno colleagues have many fond memories of the Alhambra particularly at Christmas during panto season.
