New Cinema for Helensburgh?

It might not look much now but an old building on George Street in Helensburgh is set to become a new centre for arts and will include a cinema

Great stuff. Won't miss the drive to Glasgow to the cinema. Will it be 3d???

Evan - yes the plans are for a full digital venue capable of 3D. Kudos to the folks at URTV for the film - great stuff.

Brilliant project - the town needs a cinema and arts complex and a quality diner is also a great idea.

Helensburgh has a cinema years ago, and badly needs one now! If only there was one a few minutes drive away rather than half an hours drive away

I would personally love a cinema. Finally something for younger people to be able to do in the town. Generate money and jobs while also renovating a tired old run down building . What's not to love?

Any news on the progress on this wonderful project.. when will the cinema open?

This is great news, although has anyone researched into car parks, as in whether there will be enough space for one and if so what will its capacity be? I'm sure many people will still need to travel by car to get there so this should be a top priority. What is the building going to be called? Is there a competition to decide this? Really looking forward to seeing the finished project. Very exciting news!

This is music to my ears! It was really sad times when the La Scala closed its' doors! It played a huge part in my childhood : A new cinema will be ideal for families! It will be great being able to have this on the doorstop! I feel that so much money goes out of Helensburgh & is spent elsewhere, when Helensburgh could be a thriving town!

Great news for Helensburgh and surrounding areas. This will save time and money driving into Glasgow. I also believe this will help boost the local resturants, cafes and bars.

does it not cost a fortune to get new movies into cinemas? will it be all older movies cos if thats the case it wont last long not in this day an age, tho i hope im wrong! would be good to be able to see new movies here without having to travel .....with regards to parking hardly any places in helesburgh dont have parking and are doing fine we all just need to get up and walk there its not far from town :)
