Maryport’s Carlton Cinema renovation overspent by 18%, now costing £3.7M, and delays pushed opening to April 2026.
The revamp of Maryport’s Carlton Cinema has exceeded its original budget by over 18%, now costing more than £3.7 million due to a redesign that increased seating capacity and unforeseen delays from party wall issues and legal processes.
The project, delayed from November 2025 to April 2026, is part of a £12 million regeneration effort to transform the 1830s building into a cultural hub with exhibition spaces, an auditorium, and recording studios.
Additional funding of £585,000, including £350,000 from Sellafield Limited, supported the changes.
A modern frontage with a café and box office entrance is now visible, marking progress alongside other local revitalization efforts like a maritime museum and new café near the skate park.
