Much-loved Majestic shares in £16m boost for independent cinemas

A Norfolk cinema has received more than £100,000 to help it weather the pandemic.

More than 200 independents across the country are set to share £16m in grant funding from the government’s £1.57bn culture recovery fund.

Among them is the Majestic, in King’s Lynn, which has been awarded £104, 826.

Manager Tom Cundy said: “It’s going to help us tremendously. It’s been quiet, there’s not been the numbers pre-Covid.”
