Mid Sussex District Council has confirmed that The Digital Picture House Limited has been selected as the operator for the new cultural venue at the Clair Hall site.

The Digital Picture House Limited is a family-owned cinema and restaurant operator with strong local roots and experience in delivering high-quality, community-focused venues.

As previously outlined, the new cultural destination will feature:

  • A four-screen cinema offering a mix of mainstream, independent and specialist films.

  • A flexible performance and events space equipped with professional sound and lighting.

  • A restaurant and bar alongside community-focused facilities.

The operator has set out plans to create a welcoming, year-round cultural hub for the town, with live performances, screenings, festivals and community events. Their proposal also includes supporting local employment and training opportunities, working with community groups, and engaging young people in film programming.

With the operator now confirmed, the council will move forward with the next phase of the project, including the procurement of a development partner to help deliver the scheme.
