Hope Church, a Free Church in Ipswich, has acquired a former Odeon cinema in the city centre, which it will use to host Sunday services and activities during the week. The church leaders were advised on legal matters by the law firm Birketts. Pictured outside the former cinema are (left to right) the Team Leader of Hope Church, Tom Scrivens; Keith Andrews, a senior associate in the commercial property team at Birketts, who led the transaction; Ian Little, the chair of the board of trustees at Hope Church; and Callum Ross, a solicitor in the commercial property team at Birketts
