Forum topic: A cinema for PG? Back to the drawing board for campaigners

Despite our very best efforts and a lot of time, energy and emotion we are sad to say that @arthousen8 are not able to proceed with leasing one of the bigger empty sites on the high street. We had made some very positive progress but for many reasons outside of our control, the deal is not going to go ahead. We have been trying for over 3 years and giving it our all.

Nevertheless, Arthouse still want to come to PG but are now actively looking for a smaller site to host 2 screens, 3-4000 sq foot in size. So we still need your support, we need the community to think creatively about spaces, do you know of sites coming available? Do you know landlords we can speak to? Please make suggestions! We won’t give up as we know this is something that PG would hugely benefit from. But for now, it’s back to the drawing board.

More details of requirements: 3.5m head height. Lease terms, longer is better, footfall is important but not essential as it’s a destination, but we would prefer it on the high st in PG.
