We’re asking for your help to finish the job and open Bovey Paradiso
The future of the King of Prussia is a place of fun, imagination and togetherness, right on our doorstep. With lots of local help, we’ve done the difficult bit - now it’s time to finish the job. This is your chance to be part of the future of this historic building, and of Bovey Tracey.

What’s the project?
The vision for this iconic Bovey building is to create a lively community cinema, theatre, arts, restaurant and entertainment centre in Bovey Tracey. Located at the top end of Fore Street, the 16th century King of Prussia will be given a new life and purpose for everybody to enjoy.
Why are you asking for more money?
With lots of local help, we’ve done the difficult bit - but now its time to finish the job. We asked the local community to help us save the building, and to start work making it structurally ready for the future. We’ve also been very lucky to secure generous grants from funders who back our vision. The next phase of development, which is the focus of this share offer, is to build a café bar/restaurant serving locally sourced food on the site and connected to the historic building. The cinema/theatre, with close to 100 seats, will follow in 2022, funding permitting. By pledging today, you’ll be helping to open the doors to an amazing space that will be owned by the community. HMRC has given Advanced Assurance for this share offer for Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR). New shares allocated at the end of the current share offer could qualify for tax relief from HMRC, which is currently set at 30%. For more information please refer to the Share Offer Document which also contains a link to the relevant government website.
What’s happened so far?
Behind closed doors we’ve been busy making the building structurally sound and safe. We’ve uncovered history and made sure historic features are now front and centre for future generations to enjoy. We’ve created the art gallery, community meeting space and artist studios. Everything we’ve done so far has been getting the building ready, but we have the restaurant and the theatre, cinema left to build. We’re so close to having this amazing place on our doorstep, but still need your help to finish the job.
