It's been completely refurbished and has reopened in December 2017 after being closed since 2013. It now has two screens, one of which has been designed to look exactly as it used to, with "the wee houses" left untouched and the ceiling has been painted as a sky with clouds. It also seats 190 people. The other screen has been designed to be more modern with blue and red strip lights on the walls and turquoise seats. It's much smaller than screen 1 as it only seats 50 people, but makes it much cosier to sit in. It's also open every day of the year (apart from Christmas Day) from about midday until about 9pm, showing films all day long. There's also a cafe now where you can purchase hot drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos, special hot chocolates (Nutella, Jaffa Cake, Oreo, Gingerbread and many more!) cold drinks such as bottles and cans of juice, iced coffees and also alcoholic beverages! There's a wide variety of snacks and baking, and of course, popcorn. There's also bagels to purchase between 12pm and 4pm, many different fillings like smoked salmon and cream cheese, ham and cheese, peanut butter and jelly. A lot of the food and alcoholic beverages are sourced locally, like the Kinryre Gin and Gigha ice cream. All food and drink that's sold in the Picture House can be taken into the auditoriums as well. There's also a nice timeline and heritage exhibition about the history of the building from right when it was built in 1913 to when it reopened in 2017. read more
