[Life Style] Wells Picture House reopens as Studio 24 in 'new lease of life'

[GL HERO SHIMA]

An art deco style picture house is being given a "new lease of life" and reopening as a live music venue.

Built in the 1930s, the Wells Picture House closed its doors in 1993 before reopening in 2004 as a nightclub and then closing again in 2023.

But after a £110,000 investment, the venue is set to reopen under the new name Studio 24 later.

Venue manager, Luke Gardiner, said: "I hope it works - we'll give it everything."

The money was invested into transforming the space with a state-of-the-art performance set-up, which will be able to host live music and events of all genres for all ages.
