Recently the existing Board and new Trustees had the opportunity to visit Paignton Picture House, some of them for the first time. They were delighted to see the building and were equally impressed by the visionary plans presented by AOC Architecture.

While Paignton Picture House undergoes renovations, we are excited that The Projection Room will be our temporary home. Conveniently located across the road on Torbay Road, this space will host workshops, events, and talks. We plan to open The Projection Room in the Spring.
