In April 2013, The Birks Cinema re-opened its doors to the public as a wee friendly state-of-the art cinema, after a 20 year interlude. This followed a determined fundraising campaign by The Friends of The Birks Cinema which brought in generous support and donations from the Big Lottery Fund, the Scottish Rural Development Program, Creative Scotland, and many other donors, including a huge number
of Highland Perthshire residents. Together, they raised the £2.2 million necessary to purchase The Birks Cinema building and bring it back to life as a community hub, while retaining its iconic Art-Noveau exterior. Since then, The Birks Cinema Trust has worked hard at developing a friendly local community hub, both commercially and socially. This amazing project is still ongoing, so please keep an eye on our website - https://birkscinema.co.uk/ - Facebook and Instagram feeds for details of our film, music and live events programme as well as all the community activities hosted in our hub. So please, come along and experience the magic of the movies as they are supposed to be seen - in our cosy auditorium, enjoying our huge screen and superb sound system from the comfort of our roomy seats......
