Strand Cinema is on track to open pre-Christmas

We're on track for a pre-Christmas opening! 

Lease arrangements have been completed with Denbighshire County Council this week to officially hand over the keys to the cinema!

Geoff Greaves Director of Merlin Cinemas said “We’re working with local authorities to get everything in place so that we can begin improvements to the town’s cinema which will be an ongoing process given the size and complexities of the building. We aim to have the cinema open before Christmas with a choice of the latest blockbusters, as well as older titles, with tickets starting from as little as £2.50. 

Seeing a film at the cinema with family or friends is a very different experience to watching the film at home. With the latest digital projection and sound, it is more memorable and offers a sense of occasion. With the additional availability of private hires and school screenings, we are pleased to have the opportunity to re-open this cinema for the people of Rhyl which I believe is a valuable social amenity.” 

Leader of Denbighshire County Council, Councillor Jason McLellan said, “This is exciting news to hear the lease has been signed and sealed to allow for the curtains to raise on films once again at this important venue for Rhyl. Hot on the heels of the huge success of the opening of Queen’s Market, this will be another attraction for residents and visitors alike and will be an important part of the catalyst for regeneration in our seaside town. It’s also fantastic to hear how Merlin and the Strand have helped local people find local work opportunities at the cinema, and I hope they really embrace their roles in this exciting industry.

When Strand Cinema opens, I urge residents to come and check out films on the big screen, as well as supporting other leisure facilities in the town – we need everyone to be backing our businesses to ensure their continued success.”

We're really excited about bringing cinema back to Rhyl! Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates!
