"This is for the safety of our staff and customers. If you have bookings for this day, our box office team will be in touch shortly.
“Les Liaisons Dangereuses for this day has been postponed and has two screenings available – Sat 4 July and a new additional screening on Wed 8 July. https://wtm.uk/events/nt-les-liasons-dangereuses/”
The cinema joins schools from across East and West Sussex in closing, due to the extremely high temperatures.
Earlier today, the Connaught had issued guidance to customers on how to keep cool when seeing a film there due to the building having no air conditioning.
