The Citadel is the no.1 venue for live music, arts and community events in St. Helens. The Citadel building has a fascinating history, and is today rated by the Theatres Trust of Great Britain an extremely rare survivor of the early British music hall. The first 'Theatre Royal' was a simple barn like construction built near the site of the current Running Horses pub and restaurant. It closed in the early 1850s and a number of short lived music halls were built however it soon became apparent that a more permanent solution was required. The building which is home to the Citadel today was originally constructed in 1861. It was comissioned by a local solicitor, Mr Thomas Haddock and was designed by architechts E Beattie & Sons. In 1861 the building stood opposite a school and surrounded by rows of victorian terrace houses.
