Keswick’s Alhambra Cinema is racing against the clock to reopen in time for September 30.No Time to Die, the latest instalment in the Bond franchise, is released on that date and staff are working hard behind the scenes at the cinema to make sure it is ready.
Last year, when many cinemas were facing bankruptcy, the family owners of 108-year-old cinema decided to take a huge gamble and build a state-of-the-art second screen within their century-old picturehouse – one of the oldest continuously-operating cinemas in the UK.
The major building work has meant the cinema has had to remain closed during the busiest summer Keswick has ever seen.“The stakes couldn’t be higher,” said Jon Moore, who is a co-owner of the business and is project managing the build.
