Woolton Picture House, Liverpool’s historic cinema, has remained shuttered since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Established in 1927, it holds the distinction of being the city’s oldest single-screen venue. The cinema’s prolonged closure highlights the ongoing challenges faced by independent theaters in the post-pandemic landscape, where reopening and maintaining operations require significant financial and community support. The future of such cultural landmarks is uncertain as they navigate recovery efforts amidst evolving audience habits and economic pressures.
