A group working to save a run-down theatre have released a preview of how the revamped facility might look.

Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) gave campaigners until the end of October to raise the £300,000 needed to buy the Novello Theatre in Sunninghill, Berkshire.

Save Novello Picture House said it was confident of raising the funds and has commissioned an architect to draw up the initial designs.

The full set of illustrations will be unveiled at a public meeting and tour on 18 September.

The group has organised a number of fundraising events, including an outdoor cinema planned at Broomhall Park on 14 September in partnership with Sunningdale Parish Council.

The theatre in High Street was registered as an Asset of Community Value in April, giving local groups six months to raise the funds before it could be offered on the open market.

Save Novello Picture House wants to restore the theatre, linking it with neighbouring Cordes Hall under a single charity.

Renovations to the building are expected to cost a further £300,000 to £500,000, in addition to the purchase price.
