A tea room being used to film the third series of comedy drama Ludwig could close permanently unless it raises £25,000.
Trustees of the volunteer-run Liberty Tea Rooms and Community Hub in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, said the charity was in an “extremely low cash position”.
Mark Kitson, chairman of the trustees, said the series being filmed at the venue had created a real buzz and it had been good to hire it out “at a time that we really need the extra funds”.
The tea room is temporarily closed until 7 October while filming takes place for the BBC series, which stars David Mitchell. Its frontage has been transformed to resemble a bank, which it was before becoming a community venue.
