Bognor's Picturedrome Cinema is welcoming film fans back after being forced to close over fire safety concerns, with free promotional cups being offered to customers to celebrate its return.
The cinema, in Canada Grove, announced it is reopening to the public on Friday, October 30, after being closed since August after West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service served a prohibition notice on the premises.
A spokesperson for the Picturedrome said: “We are pleased to announce that we are now back open to the public.
"To thank all our customers for standing by us and to welcome you back into the cinema, we are giving out free promo cups upon arrival.
"We look forward to seeing you all.”
The cinema is opening from 4.45pm, with four films scheduled to be shown throughout the evening.
Customers have been asked to use the original foyer when arriving, where they will be greeted by a member of staff.
