The allocation of the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund which comes into place today, means that venues such as The Alhambra in Keswick stand to receive a grant to help ensure their survival. Owner Carol Rennie said the application process was arduous and detailed. But their success means that independent cinema will now live to fight another day in Cumbria. This comes following dwindling customers and high profile delays to blockbuster titles such as the new James Bond film. “People are being careful and also, a lot of the bigger releases have been put back,” she said. “We’ve been looked after very well. The funding means we can stay open even if you are not making money or losing money – which we are. It means we can still open when numbers are 20 per cent less than usual as they are currently. This grant is going to cover that loss.
