Despite recent challenges, including an unexpected eviction notice, our resolve remains strong. Last week’s discussions about purchasing The Abbeydale Picture House were positive so we were surprised and shocked to find the locks changed and an eviction notice posted without warning this week. We have taken immediate steps to challenge this action and launched a legal dispute.

We are encouraged, however, by the recent good news that the charity has been awarded funding from the Community Ownership Fund and even more recently, official recognition of the Abbeydale Picture House as an Asset of Community Value affirms our belief in the importance of this building for the community.

We remain optimistic about the future and are committed to reviving the Abbeydale Picture House. We believe a resolution is possible and are working tirelessly to reopen the building to the public. We want to extend our thanks to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLUC) and Sheffield City Council for their support through this complex process.

Our journey continues, and we are confident that with persistence, our project will come to fruition. Thank you for standing with us.

We're thrilled to share that CADS has secured a £300,000 grant from the UK Government’s Community Ownership Fund to help save The Abbeydale Picture House, a cherished historical landmark in our city. This grant, provided by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, is vital step towards the restoration and reinvigoration of this iconic heritage building. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Theatres Trust, Music Venue Trust , and National Trust for their ongoing support.

Today we can announce that The Abbeydale Picture House has been added to Theatres Trust's Theatres at Risk Register. This register aims to spotlight and support theatre buildings across the UK facing significant threats. The Abbeydale Picture House, like others on the list, is now recognised for its vulnerability. We appreciate your ongoing support as we navigate this situation and work towards preserving the venue. We would like to thank Theatres Trust, who have given us lots of support and expert advice since we took on the lease for the building in 2017.

In addition, we're excited to share that our Head of Operations, Dan Butlin, will be appearing on Channel 5 news today at 5pm. Tune in to gain further insights into our efforts and the significance of this recognition for the future of the venue.

Then Try This would like to host a paid resident to explore algorithmic patterns. Residencies are a chance to step away from your usual situation, working in new surroundings, on a new topic, for a short period of time. You can use the time to develop risky new ideas or develop an existing project, with their support.

Algorithmic patterns can be found in a diverse range of heritage and contemporary practices, prevalent in the performing arts and crafts. They are marked by having structural systems based on simple rules that when combined can produce works of astonishing complexity. Examples include drafts in shaft weaving, site swaps in juggling and teermana in Carnatic music, along with computer-based examples such as bytebeat and bitfields in the demo scene, and pattern-based live coding environments in electronic music performance.

You might be an artist, designer, maker, tinkerer, weaver, musician, chef, writer, paper folder, juggler, grower, scientist, poet, dancer… or something else. Then Try This encourages applications from people who would not normally respond to opportunities like this.

Deadline: 17:00 (BST), 31st August, 2023

This residency forms part of Algorithmic Pattern project lead by one of our amazing tenants Alex McLean!
