I was very pleased to hear that the campaign to re-open Woolton Picture House as a community cinema has taken another step forward with their successful season of Christmas movies in December.

Most of the 39 screenings sold out, raising an extra £60,000 towards their target of £700,000. There was even a marriage proposal following a screening of Love Actually that recreated one of the film’s famous scenes and received attention across social media, bringing more publicity to the campaign.

I’ll be keeping in touch with Woolton Picture House and giving whatever support I can. You can find out more information or donate to the campaign at www.wooltoncinema.com.
