Cineworld Loughborough is now open – and the first responses are in!

The day has finally arrived: Loughborough's brand new state-of-the-art Cineworld has finally opened its doors! The brand new cinema opened last night with a very special gala event and screening of eagerly anticipated romantic drama Me Before You.

Featuring 8 screens and 1087 seats, Cineworld Loughborough boasts crystal-clear images and a powerful digital sound system: perfect for bringing to life all the upcoming blockbusters like the hugely anticipated X-Men: Apocalypse and Alice Through the Looking Glass!

Take advantage of a range of our weekly discounted Movies for Juniors screenings for just £2 on Saturdays, Sundays and school holidays, as well as Student NUS discount.

Are you an Unlimited Card holder? Then you can also enjoy access to an unlimited number of films per month for less than the price of two new-release peak time tickets, as well as 10% off in cinema snacks and drinks, local offers at restaurants and shops, and exclusive advance screenings. Plus, it has the first (and currently only) Starbucks in Loughborough!

We've rounded up some of our favourite tweets from last night's glitzy opening gala – here's what Tattooed Tealady had to say.

It was so nice to go to #CineworldLoughborough yesterday. It's been years since I went to the cinema! The whole venue is FAB!

We were also delighted to welcome Councillor Beatrice Cooper, who attended our special opening event along with the Mayor of Charnwood.

Katie is still recovering from the double-whammy of the cinema opening - and our emotional gala screening of Me Before You.

Now that I've stopped crying - #MeBeforeYou was AMAZING and so emotional. Thanks #CineworldLoughborough for your wonderful hospitality!
