As you probably know, decision day is approaching very fast, on the 27th of July, at 5pm at the Guildhall, the Council Executive will decide whether it accepts the Westgate Community Trust proposal to turn the Westgate Hall into a Community centre and a 3-screen digital Curzon Cinema.
And, with this in mind, on the 23rd of July (Saturday), Curzon Cinemas are going to transform the Westgate Hall into a cinema for the day, showcasing what they can offer to Canterbury if the proposal is accepted.
We are delighted to invite you all to this free event, featuring a mix of films for all ages, and including the world premiere of a documentary about the Trust! We have enclosed the programme here, please feel free to send it to everyone you know would be interested. We hope you can join us, and if you would like to volunteer on the day (in slots of two hours, from 9am to 10pm) please let us know.
