We are very excited to announce that we are working with an independent cinema operator to screen films in the Unicorn Theatre during the winter season. This new initiative brings together both of our roles: it will provide a much-needed enhancement to the vibrancy of Abingdon-on-Thames and bring more people into the Buildings as well as helping us to preserve them for enjoyment and use by the community at other times.

The plans under discussion include screenings of new film releases commencing in November, subject to the necessary permissions.  The screenings will be in addition to the normal drama productions and concerts in the Unicorn and will provide a useful boost for the Abbey Buildings’ funding during months when they are traditionally quiet.
