Inside the new Whiteladies Picture House
This is the first look at what the inside of the Whiteladies Picture House could look like if taken on by the Everyman cinema chain.
But it’s still a very big ‘if’, with the threat of judicial review still hanging over the scheme that was approved by city councillors earlier this year.

is needed now More than ever
Everyman hope to put three screens into the former cinema, as well as three flats to help finance the plans.
But Redgrave Theatre manager David Fells – founding director of the now disbanded Whiteladies Picture House campaign group – is still pushing for the cinema to be returned to its original one-screen set-up and for it to host theatre productions as well as film screenings.
Fells’ judicial review is based on the lack of a guarantee in the planning application to stop the Whiteladies Picture House’s new owners turning the building into anything other than a cinema.
