Introducing our brand new logo and colours for The Roxy building!
If you haven't seen our new signage and paint work adorning the building, then please do check it out, especially our lit up sign on the front of the building which you can seen in the evenings.
Check out our new video update showing before and after of our brand spanking new roof. Sadly we no longer have our much beloved duck pond but on the upside the building is now watertight.
Thank you to the wonderful Aerial Artwork for providing the amazing drone footage.
Our wonderful painters are starting to work on some of the Roxy's art deco detailing on the exterior walls. Here you can see the detailing at the top of the building which is being painted in black. We can't wait to show you more. Watch this space.

A new year and a new update. Here is a quick video with updates on Phase 2 renovations to the Roxy building. Though the weather hasn't helped our wonderful contractors have persevered and we're making some good progress. Check out the video for more info.
We have some programmes for The Bay International Film Festival at our cinema ticket office, so please feel free to take one. They are also available to take from the tourist information kiosk located in the entrance to the Laurel & Hardy Museum.
Lovely to see so many people at our bingo event last night, helping to support the Roxy Collective. Lots of cash and prizes won.

THE PAINTING BEGINS!
Our painters have been hard at work today, bringing a whole new lease of life to the Roxy building. Look how lovely and fresh it looks! We can't wait to see it finished in the coming months.
Watch this space for more updates soon...
Say goodbye to the duck pond!
Our roofers have been hard at work and almost completed repairing our roof, just in time before a storm later today. It's been a big job and we're over the moon with how good it looks compared to a few weeks ago.

How amazing are these photos of the Roxy taken when it was first built in 1937. These images give us an amazing insight into how it originally looked inside and out. Can people guess which parts of the building are shown here?
