![]() ![]() Rachel Daniel, the council's Winter Gardens partnership and engagement co-ordinator, said: ''We are really excited to be taking part in National Lottery Open Week and give National Lottery players the opportunity to view the historic Winter Gardens from the inside before restoration begins. The funding will see the iron and glass structure restored to its former glory as a people's palace on Great Yarmouth's seafront. In 2021 the Winter Gardens was one of five transformational heritage projects across the country to be awarded a Heritage Horizon Award from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Despite not having been open to the public since 2008, in a previous life it was a symbol of the golden era of the seaside, hosting a range of seaside entertainments from concerts and dancing, to roller-skating and arcades. The Winter Gardens is the UK's last-surviving Victorian glasshouse that sits on a seaside promenade. On Saturday, March 18, people have the chance to explore the inside of the Winter Gardens before work begins and learn more about what makes the building so significant to local people and to hear about the council's plans for the restoration of the building.
