Abbeygate Cinema opens new foyer and box office area

The Abbeygate Cinema, in Hatter Street, Bury St Edmunds, will be opening phase one of its expansion works at the weekend.

A new foyer area, box office and kiosk serving counter is now a part of the existing cinema and restaurant.

Chris Peters, project manager, said: “We’re very happy. It has been a long time coming. I am really pleased to get to this stage this weekend. It’s been a challenging few months.”

There are a series of other refurbishments planned for the cinema and restaurant which include two new cinema screens and a new toilet area.

Andrea Holmes, marketing manager, said: “We’re excited to see this lovely new space open and we hope customers will appreciate the larger foyer area and that it enhances their visit with us.”
