Haywards Heath: Former theatre set to become three-screen cinema

BBC News11-03-2025
A former theatre in West Sussex is set to be turned into a three-screen cinema, a move which has prompted concern from residents. Clair Hall in Haywards Heath will be replaced with a cinema which will include a stage for live performances and a food and drink outlet, Mid Sussex District Council said.Marion Wilcock, from the Save Clair Hall campaign, told BBC Radio Sussex residents would lose a "community asset". Council leader Robert Eggleston said the local authority had "looked closely" at community proposals, but "no viable scheme came forward to replicate what is on that site now".
The future of Clair Hall, which served as a vaccination centre during the Covid-19 pandemic, has been under scrutiny since it was closed in 2020, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. Mr Eggleston said the new cinema would be of "significant value to the town and to the district".

Duke and Duchess of Westminster ‘thrilled' as they welcome first child

Billionaire aristocrat Hugh Grosvenor and his wife Olivia, who married last year, have welcomed a baby girl born in London on Sunday, named Cosima Florence Grosvenor. 'The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are thrilled to announce the birth of their baby daughter,' a spokesperson for the couple said. 'Both the duchess and Cosima are doing well. 'The duke and duchess now look forward to spending this special time together as a family.' The duke, one of the UK's biggest landowners, is a close friend of both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, and godfather to Prince George and also reportedly to Prince Archie. William acted as an usher at his wedding in Chester Cathedral in June last year but Harry mutually agreed with the groom he would not attend amid his long-running rift with his brother. Hugh, once considered one of the country's most eligible bachelors, became an instant billionaire when he inherited his title and control of the historic Grosvenor Estate aged 25, following the death of his father from a heart attack in 2016. His property company, Grosvenor Group, owns hundreds of acres of land in Mayfair and Belgravia, as well as major city centre developments such as Liverpool's One shopping centre. In 2020, the duke donated £12.5 million to the UK's Covid-19 relief effort including funds for NHS Charities Together and for medical research and development.
