Woolton Picture House "intends to reopen" later this year, according to the British Film Institute (BFI).
The cinema remains closed, despite having received approximately £60,000 in funding to support its reopening. Having first welcomed people through its doors in 1927, Liverpool's oldest cinema announced it was closing for good in July 2020, citing the "devastating and unforeseen circumstances" of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, the picture house was rescued with a GoFundMe campaign to support it that raised more than £24,000 in donations from the public during 2020 and 2021. The ECHO reported yesterday (September 7) that the GoFundMe money was not the only financial support that the cinema received during that period.
