Cinema to reopen on Saturday

-

A BARGAIN is being offered to mark the return of the big screen.

On Saturday, Showcase Cinema is to reopen its doors to offer movie lovers a Covid-secure viewing experience.

The Winnersh venue is going Back To The Future with a selection of old favourites and new classics.

Over the past few weeks fans of Showcase Cinemas on social media voted for their favourite films, with The Shining and The Shawshank Redemption winning their categories. These will be screened at a later date.

Guests are advised to book tickets online in advance or use self-service ticket machines in the cinema lobby. And the cinema has a thorough cleaning regime in place, plus multiple hand sanitising stations for guests to use.

Tickets cost £5.

A spokespers­on for the cinema said: “Whether you want to revisit 2020 Oscarwinne­rs in all their glory, take a trip down memory lane, catch a film you didn’t get chance to see first time round or get the kids out of the house, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your favourite movie on the big screen for just £5.”
