The cinema closed in 2014 and remained so for 18 months until the £3.5 million Centenary Project eventually began in early 2016. It was expected to be finished in March 2017 but is now behind schedule. Highlights of the restoration are as follows:

Restoration of the historic auditorium with seating for 197; 119 in the stalls, 74 in the balcony

Restoration of the unique art nouveau frontage

Transformation of annexe to provide a new foyer/café

Creation of a multi-purpose exhibition space

Creation of a second state-of-the-art cinema auditorium in the rear courtyard with 54 seats

Film weekends were held at Victoria Hall on a monthly basis but finished on 7 May with Whisky Galore.
