After closing over a year ago due to Covid restrictions, the Stamford Arts Centre Cinema is back this week with the Oscar winning movie ‘Parasite’.
The Big Screen is back in Stamford for the first time in fifteen months!
Stamford Arts Centre Cinema opens on Friday evening in the Stamford Theatre for the first film showing since March 2020. Ben Reynolds, who looks after marketing and the Box Office, says that although some work has been done on the roof, the inside will still look very familiar:
“There are a number of safety measures that we have put in place to keep our audiences as safe as possible” Ben explains, “Our theatre is running at half the capacity that it usually would due to government guidelines, so that means people are sat socially distanced, still in their groups or bubbles if needs be”
As is also the government guidance, audiences and customers will have to wear masks when inside the venue but they are able to take them off to eat or drink. A new one way system is also in place but Ben says that it is not complicated and fairly self explanatory.
Ben sums up, “We’re all really looking forward to having people back in and apart from [these measures] its all much the same as it was before we closed in 2020.”
The movie 'Parasite' which won Best Picture at this year's Academy Awards, will be screened from 8pm Friday 25th June.
