The Phoenix Storybook

To celebrate our centenary, we are running a filmed reminiscence project. People have been coming forward with their memories and thoughts on why the cinema is so special. Please click here to visit our YouTube channel to see all the videos we have collected so far. But our Storybook volunteers are eager to capture more, so if you have a memory or an experience from The Phoenix’s 100 year history that you’d like to share, or you’ve just visited for the first time and what to tell us what you thought, then please get in touch, email heritage@phoenixcinema.co.uk. Or film yourself and upload it to YouTube. Just don’t forget to email us a link!

The Phoenix would like to thank all the interviewees, and all our volunteer film-makers, interviewers, online managers and film editors for helping with this project:
