This cinema is Cineworld’s oldest purpose-built multiplex. Going by online reviews and photos very little has been changed since 1989, including the decidedly retro red neon Kiosk sign typical of the early Cannon/MGM multiplexes.
Seat count got reduced to 1480 at some point; Screen 1 has 334, 2 has 331, 3 has 236, 4 has 202, 5 has 174, 6 has 108 and 7 has 95.
The cinema’s last day of trading will be Sunday 6th October 2024.
