Cineworlders share their awesome #CineworldFriarsWalk experiences

Yesterday finally marked the moment when Cineworld's glitzy new Friars Walk cinema in Newport opened its doors to eager customers.

With 1007 seats and 8 lavish auditoriums boasting crystal clear images, cutting-edge projection and a powerful digital sound system, it's little wonder all you Newport Cineworlders were going wild on Twitter. Here's just some of your responses.

First up is the brilliantly named Puddin McJingles who says he had a great evening at the cinema, starting oddly enough with the smell...

Lovely shiny new @cineworld at @friarswalk Newport. Beautiful place. Smells like a new car

Glad you, enjoyed it Puddin! Similarly, Sarah says she had a fabulous time attending our VIP premiere of acclaimed new Michael Fassbender drama Steve Jobs.

Had a wonderful evening courtesy of @cineworld at @friarswalk, exciting times! (Steve Jobs is a great film too)

And Rachael concurs – she says she even managed to get a handy bit of shopping done with her visit.

Great night at @friarswalk #newport #cineworld #travel #shopping #wales #uk #southwales #friarswalk https://t.co/qhjIm18IB1

We were also privileged to have the Newport Gwent Dragons in attendance – the rugby lads posed for photos and were looking their best.

Thanks to @cineworld Friars Walk for hosting the Dragons tonight. #cineworldfriarswalk #Friarswalk pic.twitter.com/dsYbfRGghN

Glad you enjoyed, it guys. And we're also thrilled by the warm feedback from St Davids Hospice who attended the Steve Jobs premiere screening.
