Cinema launches £4m plans to open in Sheffield

Growing entertainment chain the Light Cinema is set to launch a £4m site in Sheffield.

The operator will be opening its eighth cinema on The Moor in Sheffield, its first major UK city centre location.

The site at The Moor shopping area in Sheffield will have nine screens, and be located near three new restaurants, GBK, Pizza Express and Zizzi.

It will open tomorrow (14 April) and show two public screenings of Fast & Furious 8 tonight.

Light Cinema has plans to open another 20 cinemas in the next four years as part of ambitious expansion plans.

CEO Keith Pullinger said: “We are delighted to be joining The Moor and to become part of an area that is becoming a destination for visitors to the city centre. We look to create a cinema environment that’s quite luxurious with plenty of atmosphere and personality so we hope the Sheffield audiences will notice a different cinema experience.

“We have included a café bar area where we want people to feel they can relax and spend time meeting family and friends.”
