The Duke of York's Cinema is launching a fundraising appeal to save its 99-year-old clock.

On September 22 the Duke of York’s Picturehouse celebrates 99 years in operation as a cinema, and the Grade II listed building needs a little attention. Over £2,000 is needed to bring its beautiful public clock back to life. To help raise the money there will be a screening of Casablanca and all profits from this screening will go towards the repair.

The cinema will also be re-launching its Sponsor-A-Seat programme, allowing the nearly 100 seats left in the cinema to be sponsored. For £100 you can dedicate a small plaque with a message of your choice for life.

Casablanca screening at 9pm, September 22, at the Duke of Yorks Cinema, Preston Circus, Brighton.
