A campaign group hoping to reopen a theatre in Somerset says it has been given backing from the local community.
The BBC reports that Let's Buy The Amulet campaign recently carried out a survey to gauge public opinion on purchasing the Shepton Mallet venues, revealing that the response was "overwhelmingly positive".
The building was used as a theatre after being built in 1974 but went into private ownership in 2011. The campaign group wants it to operate as a museum, theatre, and cinema, as well as host craft markets and art workshops.
Martin Berkeley, from the campaign, said: "We would hope that some shows could still go on there, but its value is as a community centre."
The group is working on an application for funding from the government's Community Ownership Fund, which it hopes to submit in spring 2024.
