Woolton Picture House remains closed six months after sharing its plans to reopen.
The cinema, found on Mason Street in Woolton, first opened in 1927 but has been closed for over two years, beginning with the covid pandemic. In July 2020, the cinema's owners said they had to close permanently due to business lost during lockdown.
However, the historic venue was saved by a GoFundMe campaign, which raised £24,000, as well as government money issued by the culture recovery fund, designed to assist venues through lockdown. The cinema was awarded £37,809 by the fund, which was administered by the British Film Institute (BFI). The picture house said it collected £25,625 of the awarded funds in order to support reopening.
