Hide AdBuilt by community volunteers, Leigh Film Society is to be housed in the town's grade II-listed landmark building.
The project's director Elizabeth Costello said the film society wanted to be able to offer high-end movies to people living in the Wigan borough.
She said: "People don't have to go to Manchester or Liverpool, they can come to Leigh and see high-end films.
"We want to put on events like autism-friendly showings and Scandi film nights for the true film buffs.
"We want to make sure that cinema is for everyone."
The not-for-profit society was founded in 2013 and has worked towards creating Leigh Film Factory, which is estimated to cost around £50,000.
