The future of Woolton Picture House has been secured after a fundraising campaign surpassed its ยฃ450,000 target, raising ยฃ532,884 in public donations since October ๐ฌโจ
Following months of fundraising led by Woolton Cinema Community Interest Company (CIC), a mystery benefactor stepped in at the eleventh hour to purchase the historic cinema outright.
The building has been gifted back to the CIC on a 100-year peppercorn rent lease, securing its long-term future as a community asset ๐๏ธ
All public funds raised will now be used in full to support the refurbishment of Liverpoolโs only remaining single-screen cinema, with plans already underway to revitalise the venue into a multi-purpose space for film screenings, live events and wider community use.
