In 2024, Screen 1 was upgraded to luxury seating - a mix of Rockers / Sofas / Recliners, all in leather. During September 2025 Screens 2 to 5 were upgraded in a similar fashion, all with great legroom. I believe Grantham is the last of the Savoy circuit (except Screen 1 in Nottingham) to be upgraded.
Seating capacities (incl wheelchair spaces) are now:- Screen 1 - 129; Screen 2 - 105; Screen 3 - 82; Screen 4 - 99; Screen 5 - 61
Total 476

SAVOY - Screen 1
In mid-July 2024 Screen 1 was closed to be reseated with luxury rockers and recliners, reducing the capacity to 130. It reopened on 19th July.
Nadeem - that is correct. The initial set of plans gave the original two screens (which opened as the Paragon, later renamed Reel) a new facade and incorporated them within a larger 6 screen complex. However, this scheme was later revised and the Savoy’s five screens were built on a separate footprint, with the original screens demolished - sadly a year before the Savoy opened, leaving the town without a cinema.
Looking at pics on flickr, im. Sure there were two auditoriums on in brick other in steel cladding. I take the brick building wasn’t used?
An album of photographs showing the former Reel Cinema, its demolition, and the construction of the Savoy Cinema can be found here:–
