Prominent UK Arthouse Set To Cease Trading After 30 Years Due To Financial Struggles
03.11.2022 - 21:03 / deadline.com
Staff members working at the Light House cinema in Wolverhampton, England, today announced on social media that the arthouse and media center is set to cease trading and close its doors for the final time Thursday due to acute financial struggles.
On Thursday morning Darryl Griffiths, Marketing Manager of the cinema posted a lengthy message on social media announcing the closure.
“For a venue that has been remarkably resilient amidst many a challenge, never did we think it would finally come to this,” he wrote.
The popular arthouse cinema is part of the wider Light House charity, which has operated out of the Chubb Building in the city center of Wolverhampton in the West Midlands region of England since 1991.
The building has also doubled as an arts center, where the charity has housed its biannual Deaffest — a Deaf-led film and television festival — as well as local exhibitions and workshops. The Light House cinema had long been one of the few independent film venues in Central England.
Discussing the factors behind the closure, Griffiths told Deadline that the cinema had been the victim of a collection of pressing financial issues, including reduced funding from Wolverhampton local council and falling admission numbers, which have been exacerbated by the current cost of living crisis.
Like many cinemas and arts venues, the Light House also took a big hit during the pandemic, closing for 16 months before opening to steady numbers in June 2021.
“As a charity, funding has been hard to come by,” Griffiths said. “Just before COVID, we were working with a small deficit, but obviously, because of numbers not quite coming back and the funding not coming through at the level we need it to, just exacerbated the situation.”
