A community appeal to preserve a slice of Sunninghill history.

Fundraising

We are delighted to be in a position to be actively fundraising for the purchase and renovation of Sunninghill’s much loved Novello Picture House.

RBWM have valued the theatre at £300,000 and we have a 6 month window to raise the necessary funds. Click the button below to find out how you can donate.

Our Mission

We believe that as a community, we can put together a strong proposal for taking over and utilising the Novello Picture house as a community space, run and managed as an extension of the Cordes Hall.

A slice of history

The Novello Picture House has been a staple of Sunninghill High Street for over a century. Find out more about the fascinating history of the building, including a previous successful campaign to save it from closure.

“The overwhelming response to the Public Petition, together with all those in the area not eligible to sign, shows how strong feelings are to avoid letting the Novello Theatre disappear from the High Street”
