Showroom Cinema, Sheffield

The Showroom Cinema is housed in a 1936 art deco building which was formerly the Kennings car dealership.

Much of the remainder of the building is the Workstation, offices intended for use by business working in the cultural industries.

In 2015 plans for a thorough refurbishment of the Showroom were announced, but the cinema must raise £250,000 to undertake the work.

The venue's four screens are to be refurbished, including new seats and carpeting throughout, as well as updated foyers and toilets.

[5] The Showroom is a venue for a programme called the BFI Film Academy[6] which sharpens the creative skills of youths between 16 and 19 years of age.
