Animate Preston £40m cinema and leisure complex gets the green light as building work to start in early 2023
Construction work is set to begin on Preston city centre's new £40 million entertainment and leisure complex after the green light was given by the council.
Planning permission was finalised earlier this year and the complex is scheduled to open in 2024. The scheme, within the Harris Quarter, is being funded by the City Council, with support from the Towns Fund and the City Deal and will be publicly owned. “The decision is underpinned by our commitment to the Preston Model - our Community Wealth Building strategy - which is to create and support long-term local jobs, training and investment, and to help bring about positive changes in the standard of living for our residents by ensuring more of our local economy is democratically and socially owned.”
As an important go-to entertainment destination in the city centre, the development will boost footfall and consumer spend in the city centre, supporting both the day and night-time economy, encouraging people to stay out longer and enjoy the city centre’s other cultural attractions.The scheme is part funded by Towns Fund investment and City Deal .
