A POPULAR cinema is looking forward to welcoming customers again when it reopens as coronavirus restrictions continue to ease.

Curzon Knutsford has been closed for almost five months after shutting on Christmas Eve ahead of the third national lockdown.

Boris Johnson announced this week the third stage of the country’s roadmap will go ahead and restrictions will be lifted from May 17.

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement Curzon Knutsford confirmed it will be opening its doors to cinemagoers once again on Monday.

Bernard Cunnane, general manager at the Toft Road cinema said: “The team at the Curzon Knutsford have missed our customers.

“We are excited to be reopening our doors once again and are looking forward to offering exceptional customer service and bringing the very best in live events and film to the big screen for the rest of the year following our opening programme.

“All of our Covid measures are in place for a safe visit to keep our customers and our members of staff safe.

“Also to coincide with our opening date of May 17 Curzon cinemas will be releasing details of the new look membership for all sites.”

The three-screen cinema in Knutsford was renovated in 2018 and includes a bar and kitchen for cocktails and light-bite snacks before and after your chosen film.

The first films to be shown on Monday (see listing below) include Peter Rabbit 2, which stars James Corden as the eponymous bunny, and triple Oscar-winning Nomadland.

Starring Frances McDormand, who won Best Actress for her role, Nomadland also took home Best Picture and Best Director gongs at this year’s Academy Awards.

From Monday to Saturday, Curzon Knutsford will open 30 minutes before the first show’s programme starts and closes at midnight.

On Sundays the venue closes at 11.30pm.
