A theatre has occupied the site of Sadler's Wells since 1683 and has been rebuilt six times. The current building opened in 1998 following a £54 million funding grant from the National Lottery. The name Sadler's Wells comes from the original owner of the site, Richard Sadler, and the discovery of monastic springs, which still remain under the venue to this day. Sadler's Wells has a global reputation of being one of the world's leading dance venues.
