Cineworld Yate opens with spectacular gala event!

It's finally here: Cineworld Yate last night opened its doors with a spectacular gala event, offering excited audiences their first look at their lavish and spacious new cinema.

A 270-strong crowd turned out for a special advance screening of all-star drama Florence Foster Jenkins starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant, with attendees tweeting excitedly about the evening.

The Mayor of Yate, Tony Davis, officially cut the ribbon on the new Cineworld opening and Yate's biggest film buff was also in attendance – receiving an Unlimited card in the process! Jenna was one of those in the audience, and she said it made for a very special occasion.
