Cinema comfort gets Reel
A NEW state-of-the-art six-screen cinema with sofas, armchairs, and inscreen food service will open in Farnham next month.
The opening is part of the long-anticipated Brightwells Yard development and promises to be a “beacon of entertainment and community” with most ticket prices costing less than £10.
REEL Cinemas said its new venue – the company’s 16th in the UK – has five standard screens and a luxury REEL Lounge, and is “actively forging connections” with local groups as part of plans to become a central hub.
The cinema is set to welcome guests for the first time on Friday February 2, and has released details of its opening week titles.
Sunil Suri, from REEL Cinemas, said: “We are delighted to open REEL Cinema Farnham at Brightwells Yard.
“With our eclectic mix of eateries, extensive garden, public artwork, and striking architecture, our latest cinema will be at the heart of the community and a real asset for Farnham town centre.”
The cinema’s premium offering features “plush” sofas and armchairs for the “utmost comfort”. Guests are also invited to indulge themselves with a range of food and drink packages that can be pre-ordered and served directly to their seats.
A gourmet menu offers hot food that ranges from pizza and loaded fries to hot dogs and nachos, as well as freshly popped popcorn. A hand-picked selection of local beers, wines, and bespoke cocktails will also be available as well as soft drinks.
REEL Farnham said it will show everything from the latest studio blockbuster movies to independent films and Event Cinema releases such as opera, ballet, and stage musicals.
The opening week titles will include the animated 2023 release Migration, Mean Girls, Wonka, and Emma Stone’s new film Poor Things.
