The recently completed refurbishment hasn’t just been exclusive to the screens though; the foyer and concourse area have also seen a full internal redecoration. The foyer has been given a modernised feel thanks to its newly installed digital film posters and large format display installation which will screen the latest blockbuster film trailers.
