Curzon Cinema & Arts - Independent, Unique & Yours
We are embarking on a campaign to raise funds for Phase 1 of the restoration - to repair and rebuild our roof The Curzon’s roof is desperately in need of repair, costing £500,000. We think we can raise £400,000 through Trusts, Foundations and the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Can you help make a difference by donating? Can Clevedon raise £100,000 this year?
The Curzon is a historic single-screen cinema dating back to 1912. ‘The Picture House’, as it was then known, is one of a very few original, purpose-built, continually operating cinemas in the UK. Saved by the community from closure and disposal in the 1990s, it is now run as a charity, Curzon Clevedon Community Centre for the Arts Ltd, with a small staff and many volunteers. We offer a varied programme of film, comedy, educational and out-reach activities, and live streaming of theatre, opera and ballet. The Curzon social enterprise is a strong and strengthening going concern. However, our building is now in need of a major restoration which is beyond our financial means.
