About Westgate Community Trust, Canterbury

The Westgate Community Trust is a charity that was created by local people to save the Westgate Hall, an old Drill Hall in the centre of Canterbury that, in 2010, was threatened with demolition. The Trust will now run it as a community centre to serve the needs and interests of the present and future residents of our city, and in the process, strengthen community spirit. In July 2011 Canterbury City Council accepted the proposal of the Trust to run the Westgate Hall as a community centre, sub-leasing part of the building to Corinthian Curzon for a 3-screen digital cinema. In February 2013 the Trust has taken over the building from the council. The refurbishment will start shortly.
