The Belmont has always been more than just a cinema, it’s a place where stories are shared, creativity thrives, and our community comes together. As we work towards an exciting new chapter of refurbishment and regeneration, your support this Giving Tuesday can help bring Belmont back to life.
Every donation makes a real difference. Your generosity helps us restore a vital space for film, culture, and connection at the heart of our city. With your help, we can reopen The Belmont as a vibrant hub where people come together to be inspired, entertained, and uplifted.
We’re currently awaiting the outcome of a major funding application that could make this vision a reality, and we hope to share more news in January about our reopening timeline.
To everyone who has already donated, thank you. Your belief in Belmont’s future is what keeps this project moving forward. Together, we’re building something truly special for our community.
We have now launched a Crowdfunder page to enable our community to play a starring role in The Belmont Cinema story — certain donations entitle you to exclusive rewards, and some of these rewards are available in limited quantities.

WHAT'S THE VISION?
A reimagined and refurbished The Belmont Cinema, reopened for the cultural and educational benefit of Aberdeen and those who live here — ensuring that an inclusive and accessible cinema / cultural space is available in our city centre for many years to come.
We want to create a venue that makes people fall in love with the cinema experience all over again.
WHAT'S THE PLAN?
The plan is to refurbish all areas of the building and reopen The Belmont Cinema with 3 cinema screens, basement bar space, and an education and learning suite on the top floor.

WHAT DO WE NEED?
We need your support to transform The Belmont, so it can open as a vibrant focal point for the local community.
We have set a target of £3 million, but we want to exceed this target to ensure a long-term future for The Belmont by making the building more energy efficient, and deliver the very best customer experience for many years.
We have been successful in securing significant funding from various sources, but to be successful, your support is vital.
