Plans for a new ‘arts village’ featuring a cinema are set to go ahead, despite being hit by the pandemic.
Last year, some in Hoylake feared The Beacon Arts Village project had been ditched based on the slow progress of the scheme since the virus broke out. However, the project, which follows a successful application for £3.6m of grant funding from the government’s Coastal Communities Fund, is set to be delivered.
Once complete, The Beacon will feature a two-screen cinema, a restaurant, bar and café bistro, as well as 18 creative studio and retail spaces for artists and makers. A plan for 40 homes and commercial units nearby, which will support The Beacon in bringing a new buzz to the town, is also making progress.
