One of Sheffield’s most iconic and historic buildings may soon be renovated thanks to a fundraising appeal led by a local charity.
Over 100 years-old, Abbeydale Picture House was once a popular cinema, but the grand architecture has recently fallen into disrepair.
Head of communications at Creative Arts Development Space (CADS), Alex Deadman, said the main concern was damage to the barrel-vaulted ceiling which currently means it is unsafe for the public.
CADS is planning a series of events from the first of December including a pop-up bar, Christmas markets and comedy gigs to raise money for the repairs.
Mr Deadman is encouraging members of the community too come forward with ideas for the space.
He said: “It might be that you just have a bit of time on your hands and want to join in with a space that is going to do a lot for the community, meet some new people and just get out there and get some experience.
“We are completely open for suggestions from the community and for anybody who wants to get involved.”
