New dawn for town Pavilion BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk A HISTORIC theatre and cinema in Selsey has been awarded a grant to help restore it to its former glory. Selsey Pavilion on the High Street was built in 1913, but has fallen into disrepair since closing its doors to the public in the 1960s.
Now, The Selsey Pavilion Trust has announced that it will receive £35,000 from Selsey Town Council’s Community Fund. This is the first milestone in a proposed restoration programme spearheaded by the trust. The trustees plan to revitalise the Pavilion as a modern multi-functional space. Trustee and local resident Neil
Kimber said: ‘The Pavilion is part of Selsey’s cultural heritage. "There’s a real sense of community with local people, but with the arrival of Asda, we’re keen to keep the High Street as a community hub." Plans involve restoring the Pavilion so the people of Selsey can enjoy and take pride in it. The trustees are aiming for the venue to be an asset to Selsey.
Some of the original features have been retained, and a time capsule has been unearthed which dates right back to the 1930s. Gill Jennings, from The Selsey Pavilion Trust, said: "The restoration of this historic building means it can return to its original use for community, educational and social events."
