Plans for the Broadway Cinema in Prestwick will be showcased at a special Doors Open Day event next month.

The cinema's foyer will be open to all on September 14-15 for a special weekend featuring an ultra-exclusive programme of presentations and demonstrations.

It will include the first chance to glimpse 'The Broadway Cinema of the Future' as the charity showcases its first concept designs for phase one of the Broadway's restoration.

The public consultation will provide the opportunity to get a first glimpse at what the future of the cinema may look like. 

Visitor thoughts and feedback will be directly relayed to architects to ensure the community's vision for the Broadway is a collective one.

The design concepts will be presented from 3pm to 4.30pm, with ample time for Q&As and extensive feedback sessions.

The full programme will repeat on both Saturday and Sunday, with a 'The History of the Broadway' presentation, featuring an a virtual walkthrough of the remainder of the building.

From the Art Deco surroundings of the original foyer you can enjoy the most in-depth look yet behind-the-scenes of Prestwick's sleeping giant from 10am to 11.30am.

From 12pm to 2pm, you can attend a unique 35mm projection showcase courtesy of your friendly chief projectionist.

Trailers, advertisements, and daysets will be shown in a curated programme of 35mm film. Also on display will be their bonus heritage exhibit 'Other Cinemas of Ayr, Prestwick & Troon'.

A spokesperson said: "The weekend will provide more opportunities than ever before to get involved in the Broadway's journey. 

"You can become a member, register as a volunteer, and donate to support the upcoming restoration of your cinema. We can't wait to welcome you back to the Broadway in four weeks' time."
