Scarborough's Capitol Plaza honored

Scarborough's Capitol Plaza, a Grade II listed building opened in 1929 as the town's first "talkie" cinema, has been designated as an asset of community value by North Yorkshire Council. The Capitol Theatre Trust plans to redevelop the venue into a receiving house theatre with community facilities, aiming to preserve its cultural significance and potentially allow the community to bid for the building if sold. The project includes creating a café, accessible amenities, rehearsal rooms, and creative spaces, with a public consultation scheduled and hopes to reopen in 2029.
