Sutton Council confirmed that the independent cinema and community arts venue Throwley Yard on Sutton High Street will close on Sunday (November 9).
Throwley Yard officially opened last September by the cinema’s operator, the Really Local Group.
The closure comes after the cinema’s operator, the Really Local Group, told Sutton Council that it was going into administration.
Those who work at the cinema have been informed of the closure.
The building is owned by Sutton Council, who is now seeking to find a new tenant to take over the premises.
Councillor Barry Lewis, Leader of the Council said he was “disappointed” that the independent cinema did not work.
He added: “Throwley Yard had remained unoccupied for a number of years before the Council, with the help of funding from the Government, brought the building back to life.
“But where other High Streets across the UK are declining, Sutton is thriving.
“Over 90 per cent of shops in Sutton are occupied and I am confident that we will soon find another business for this fantastic space.”
