Keswick’s much loved cinema the Alhambra has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help towards restoring the interior of the this historic building to its former glory.

The Keswick Alhambra was established in 1913 and is one of very few picture houses that have remained in continuous operation for over 100 years.

The current total stands at almost £12,000 and the funds will be going towards restoring the original radiators and tin wall panels and also to restore the original gold and cream colour scheme.

For more information or to make a donation please click here www.crowdfunder.co.uk/keswick-alhambra-restore-the-glory there are a series of rewards available depending on the size of the donation.

We are pleased to say that the work on the en-suite in room 5 went really well and we are delighted with the new bathroom – continuing our commitment to keep our facilities up to the highest of standards.
