Futurist Cinema

Located in a former carpet warehouse, which is a Grade II Listed building, the 4-screen Warehouse Cinema opened on 15th April 2005. Entrance is at ground floor level, with the foyer and four screens located on the first floor. Seating capacities in the screens are 107, 65, 100 and 28.

There were plans to open a fifth screen in 2008 which will be located in adjacent property. In January 2009, it was taken over by the Reel Cinemas chain and re-named Reel Cinema. Closed in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, it was announced on 22nd July 2020 that the closure would be permanent.

Local entrepreneurs James Anderson Brown, Anthony Hughes and Eddy Morton purchased the building. With plans to re-open the 4-screen cinema, the new owners have re-named it as the Lume Cinema. Renovations and refurbishment were underway in July 2021, with support from an online crowdfunding which went live in February 2021. It reopened on July 12, 2024 and in late-October 2024 it was renamed Futurist Cinema (presumably as a tribute to the earlier Futurist Cinema in the town which has its own page on Cinema Treasures).
