Audiences at Fishguard's Theatr Gwaun are being assured that "good news is just around the corner", as the venue transitions into the digital age.

Currently equipped with a 35mm projector, the theatre has been struggling to find new release films, as distributors move exclusively into digital.

Theatr Gwaun Community Trust, who took over the venue from the county council in 2011, has been working hard to raise around £65,000. This will enable them to purchase a new projector, sound system, screen and other equipment to upgrade the theatre.

"We have been working on this for 18 months, as we knew 35mm was going to dry up," said chair of the trust Richard Goswell.

Mr Goswell added that although the choice of films for June was limited, the theatre still has live events and is not closing down.

"We are fairly certain that we have got all the money," he added. "We are hoping we can do the installation towards mid June so we have about a month before we can go digital.

"It is very frustrating for us but we want everybody to know it is in hand. We are working on it and good news is just around the corner."

Mr Goswell said that the digital projector would make the theatre better for everybody; it will include a new inductive loop for the hard of hearing and new facilities for the visually impaired.

"We will be able to show more exciting films closer to their West End release dates which will make it more exciting for audiences and our volunteers," he said.
