The Grand's long and colourful history began in 1911 when it opened as a live theatre. In 1929, film screenings began, making The Grand the first cinema in Oxfordshire to show a film with sound, starting off with ‘Showboat'. Externally, the building enjoyed a very lavish appearance and provided up to 500 visitors with exquisite leather seats – the ultimate in comfort. After closing for refurbishment and modernisation, The Grand was taken over by Associated British Cinemas and reopened in December 1935, redesigned in the Egyptian style of Joseph G. Gomersall. Sadly, the theatre closed in 1968.

The Grand offers a rare and unique opportunity to acquire part of an iconic building within the heart of Banbury. The former theatre/cinema is being respectfully redeveloped to house 12 beautifully appointed one- and two-bedroom apartments. Banbury is a historic market town on the River Cherwell in Oxfordshire, England, situated 64 miles northwest of London and 21miles north of the county town of Oxford. Perched on the edge of the gentle rolling hills of the north Oxfordshire Cotswolds, Banbury has been a busy market town for centuries. Today, the bustling town provides significant commercial and retail opportunities, whilst retaining much of its historic charm. The Market Place and St Mary's parish church are worth a visit whilst the old alleys, lanes and quiet corners of the atmospheric Old Town offer areas to explore. Banbury boasts intercity connections to more than 20 other cities and good local transport links making the area popular with professionals and businesses alike. With trains serving London, Birmingham, Stratford-upon Avon and Kidderminster, Banbury railway station sits at one end of the Cherwell Valley Line, which travels as far as Didcot Parkway and takes in Kidlington and Oxford along the way.
