The latest part of New Brighton's regeneration project Marine Point opened its doors last night as eight screen cinema complex The Light hosted a glittering charity launch party. Ticket holders and invited guests were treated to champagne, fish and chips, popcorn and the UK premiere of star studded movie 'New Year's Eve'.
With 1,200 seats in total the complex promises to screen the latest Hollywood blockbusters, international movies as well as live sports and theatre broadcasts. Costing £5.5m, The Light is the first purpose built fully digital cinema in the UK and has created over 25 jobs in the area.
The brand joins the likes of Starbucks, Morrisons and Travelodge as the redevelopment of the seaside resort starts to take hold. Former operations manager of The London Carriageworks and Hope Street Hotel, Phil Dove will head the team.
Proceeds from the evening were donated to the RNLI whose New Brighton lifeboat station is based close to the new complex.
