A cinema has reopened and is offering fans of Cliff Richard the chance to see a live performance from one of the most successful singers of all time.
The Keswick Alhambra Cinema opened today for the first time in nine months, with a new second screen, improved seating plan in the original century-old auditorium, reconfigured social spaces, cleaned and repointed facade, new windows, new signage, new heating, ventilation and wiring and full repainting and decorating.
Bond in No Time to Die has naturally dominated the schedule in the opening week, but the cinema is very keen to ensure that all tastes are catered for.
“What better event to bring in a more mature audience than a trip down memory lane and a live celebration of Cliff Richard’s enduringly popular music?” says Carol Rennie, co-owner. Sir Cliff Richard’s Great 80 Tour, featuring a selection of his greatest hits, will be broadcast live from the Royal Albert Hall to cinemas across the UK at 7.30pm on October 27, with an encore on the Saturday.
Contacts in the Ambleside Women’s Institute suggested that the Alhambra should help make a day of it in Keswick, by putting on a screening of Cliff Richard in his young days: the iconic 1963 musical film Summer Holiday.
Fans of the 81-year-old can enjoy both on October 27 with Summer Holiday starting at 2pm and Cliff Richard’s tour beginning at 7.30pm.
