Exact date beloved Scottish venue to reopen after devastating closure
Several Hollywood stars from across the globe backed the three-year campaign to save it Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ICONIC Scottish venue is set to reopen in weeks after being forced to close three years ago. Edinburgh's Filmhouse almost closed for good back in October 2022 after its parent charity, Centre for the Moving Image, collapsed. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The Filmhouse in Edinburgh is set to reopen this month Credit: PA 4 It has undergone a £2million refurbishment 4 It comes after it was forced to close three years ago Credit: Alamy But a lengthy campaign was launched to save it, and over time it was pulled "back fae the brink" of closure. The beloved cinema first opened in 1978 in a repurposed church, but was feared to have been lost for good when it closed. Several Hollywood stars from across the globe backed the three-year campaign as they helped fight to save it. This includes Scottish icons such as Mary Queen of Scots star Jack Lowden, director Charlotte Wells, Love Actually actress Emma Thompson, Emmy award-winning actor Dougray Scott and Succession star Brian Cox. The Filmhouse cinema, located on Lothian Road, has undergone a huge £2 million refurbishment and is now set to reopen on Friday, June 27. The revamp has seen a complete internal refit to all of its public areas and screens, and "substantial" repairs made to the roof and stonework. After months of hard work, the incredible team at Filmhouse have managed to pull one of Scotland's few truly independent cinemas back fae the brink Jack Lowden It also saw more seats added, meaning the cinema now has a capacity for 350 super-comfy seats which each has extra legroom. The foyer space and the bar have also been renovated, and there is now room for 100 people to dine and enjoy food and drinks from a new menu that focuses on sustainable produce from the UK. A second phase of works is set to be carried out next month, which will see a fourth screen added to the venue. This newest screen will be used primarily for "private screenings", according to BBC Scotland News, and will have 24 seats. Inside 'world's largest cinema' the 'Big King' with 2,700-seater triple-decker 'grand hall' and giant 3,000sq ft screen When it opens again in three weeks, it will show a list of some of the most iconic films that were missed while it was closed. Lowden, who also starred in Dunkirk, said the reopening will give a much-needed "lift" to the film industry. He said: "Filmhouse is a place utterly dedicated to the promotion and celebration of independent cinema. "Films need to be watched, not just made. Now, after months of hard work, the incredible team at Filmhouse have managed to pull one of Scotland's few truly independent cinemas back fae the brink. "To have such a place on the streets of our capital providing the platform to give our world-class film-makers and storytellers the lift-off they need, and continue to ask the big questions of ourselves through cinema, is exciting and vital." Andrew Simpson, executive director of Filmhouse, added that the cinema is now returning with a "fresh energy and clear plan". He said: "The love for Filmhouse never went away, it was just waiting to be reignited. "The incredible response to its closure showed us how vital this space is, not just for Edinburgh, but for audiences across Scotland and beyond. LONG TIME COMING PLANS to reopen the cinema first began to take shape when bosses signed a new lease in July last year. Caledonian Heritable, who own the building, agreed the lease it back as a space for a modern cinema for a minimum of 25 years. Works quickly began seven months later after the team managed to secure extra funding. This included £324,000 from the Open the Doors crowdfunding campaign, £1.5million from the UK government. The team also managed to secure £977,925 in donations from Screen Scotland and £1,243,312 from Creative Scotland over the next three years. Refurbishment works started in February early this year, and a second phase is set to finish the project off in July. "We are returning with fresh energy, a clear plan for the future and a commitment to delivering world-class film experiences for everyone. "Filmhouse belongs to its community and we're excited to welcome people back." While Margaret Graham, culture and communities convener at Edinburgh City Council, praised the reopening at "wonderful" for the city. She added: "I am sure that many people across Edinburgh and beyond will be looking forward to this event. "This much-loved cinema is both a community hub and cultural asset for the city. "Its refurbishment will allow even more people to enjoy the magic of global cinema in the heart of the city."

And if you're on the lookout for wallet-friendly options for your next holiday or even a wedding, you may wish to pop down to the local Tesco pronto. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The mega supermarket has added a range of stunning gowns to its summer collection Credit: tiktok/@chloewarfieldx 2 The latest line also has the on-trend leopard print shorts - and they're less than £20 Credit: tiktok/@chloewarfieldx The mega supermarket has long been a firm favourite amongst cash-savvy fashion fans - and their latest collection is no exception. Whether you're on the lookout for on-trend leopard print or bloat-friendly frocks, Tesco has it all - and prices start from just £6. One person who was recently left amazed by the latest buys is Chloe Warfield - who also shared some of her top buys on TikTok. The size 14 modelled numerous eye-catching items, from a stunning bright fuchsia maxi dress to trendy shorts. The vibrant dress, priced at an affordable £25, features puff sleeve detailing, as well as a belt that cinches at your waist. The best part? In the video, Chloe also discovered the summery frock comes with pockets - it really doesn't get any better than this. Another buy the shopper got her hands on were shorts with the viral leopard print that's not going out of fashion anytime soon. Chloe snapped up the £18 shorts in size 14 and teamed it with a basic white T-shirt, £6 - another must-have wardrobe staple. To make the fit stand out even more, the stylish TikToker completed the casual ensemble with a pair of tinted aviator sunnies, sandals, a black belt and a purse. It seems like it's certainly worth visiting Tesco if you're short on dresses or have a wedding to attend - as the mega retailer has a huge variety of stunning dresses to bag. I'm 5'3 and a size 10 - Tesco is killing it with their summer co-ords, my haul was amazing & I got 25% off everything too One of these is a frilled maxi dress in vibrant blue for an affordable £36 - it has a flattering V-neckline, as well as a cut at the bottom of the dress that allows you to move freely and without discomfort.

Other jaw-dropping dress options included a flowy midi dress in light grey for £32.50, a strappy black maxi dress with frill detailing throughout, £29.50, as well as a sleeveless gown in neutral shades for a wallet-friendly £19.50. How has Tesco's F&F upped its game By Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend ZARA has become a high street staple in recent years thanks to its hot-off-the-catwalk designs and affordable prices. But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity. However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead. F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands. They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame. F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner. I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes. So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco. Posing with chic sunnies and heeled sandals, Chloe looked incredible - and was delighted to see that this dress too came with side pockets. Praising the brand, the shopper wrote in the caption: ''Ummmm hello TESCO you superstar - thanks for providing this pink dress, leopard shorts & the last dress is just sensational! ''All bought today so will all be fresh in stores for you!'' the fashionista wrote in the caption. 'I'm gonna have to run to Tesco' The new range has clearly impressed many, as the video - posted under the username @chloewarfieldx - has racked up over 216k views. As close to 8,000 people gave it a like, a further 124 flooded to comments, where one said: ''I'm gonna have to run to Tesco's for those leopard shorts.'' Someone else chimed in: ''Blue dress is 10/10.'' Another shopper said: ''bought the last dress today and it's honestly sooo gorgeous on. they do it in black as well and a gorgeous khaki green kinda colour too.''

Bad news for Phils, Steves and Dereks as dad names are dying out
Fewer than 10 babies were handed some of the most popular names of the 80s and 90s last year A list of 'dad names' that were popular for babies in the 80s and 90s are now at risk of dying out in the UK as fewer than 20 babies were handed them last year. A UK baby name expert has listed names we may stop seeing altogether in the next few years as a trend for even older names - and gender neutral names - takes over. Names like Steve, Colin and Craig top the list of those dying out - followed by Roger, Tyrone, and Phil are also on the way out, with less than 10 babies given these names in 2024. But 'grandma names' are experiencing a resurgence, with Brits 25% more likely to name their baby after their grandma rather than their grandpa, and grandad names like Edwin, Osmond, Vincent currently not seen as cool as grandma names like Mabel, Betty or Gigi. The research shows we can be 'put off' by certain baby names. Whether it be too common or overused or if a friend already chose the name for their child, there are many factors which play a part in the decision. Plus, with close to half of Brits saying they'd choose a unisex name for their child, the nation may start to see an increase in gender neutral names in the coming years. There is a list of names that look set to die out as fewer than 20 babies were given them last year. 'Dad' names at risk of extinction according to UK baby name consultant, SJ Strum: Steve Colin Craig Derek Gareth Tyrone Phil Sameer Roger SJ Strum, author of 'Baby Name Envy', said: 'Name trends are constantly evolving over time, and these names in particular have seen a big decline in recent years. Notably, many of these we often think of as 'Dad' names, as a result of them being so popular in the 80s and 90s. Now, new parents are searching for more playful and creative names that have unique meanings. We're also seeing an 'upcycling' trend emerge, with more people putting a twist on traditional names. For example, 'Steve', which was once popular for men, is now being adapted to 'Stevie' for a baby girl.' Ahead of Father's Day, Etsy is partnering with a selection of sellers to offer a 50% discount on select products when personalised with one of the top 10 near-extinct names, to help these once-popular 'Dad names' live on. Dayna Isom Johnson, Etsy's Trend Expert, said: 'With over half (57%) thinking the near-extinct male names may see a resurgence in the future , it's clear many want to see them live on. As the destination for personalised gifts, to lend a helping hand this Father's Day, we're helping keep these names alive for generations to come. Head to Etsy's website now and help protect these names by buying the special Gareth in your life a personalised playing card box, or an engraved leather bookmark.' Shoppers can visit the campaign landing page here to browse Etsy shops offering the 50% discount.
