Belatedly reading that Somerset Council have refused the planning application to convert the 1975 Amulet Theatre in Shepton Mallet into flats.

I've written about it, and I know @c20society.bsky.social have backed the campaign to buy it back for the town.

Very exciting - and the old seats from @artstheatrecamb.bsky.social were donated to one of our Theatres at Risk groups who are trying to revive the Amulet Theatre in Shepton Mallet ♻️

NEWS: C20 has backed proposals by a local community group to buy, restore, and reopen the former Amulet Theatre in Shepton Mallet, Somerset. It comes amid news of a grant from the @theatrestrust.bsky.social to help rehabilitate the 1970s brutalist building.
