King's Lynn cinema reopening date pushed back by a week

Lynn's Majestic Cinema will reopen a week later than initially planned, due to delays to the installation of new seats in two screens.

Last week, officials at the Tower Street venue announced that it would reopen on July 10, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave cinemas the green light to reopen from July 4.

A post on the Majestic Cinema's Facebook page on June 23 said the reopening would provide an opportunity to show customers the renovations to the cinema which have been completed since the coronavirus lockdown.

The post said: "We’ll be showing you our brand new screen four, our completely renovated screen two and all the rest of the exciting improvements you’ll experience when you return to us!

"We absolutely cannot wait to share everything with you and we really think you’ll be blown away!"

But, earlier this morning, the cinema posted an update to Facebook which said that their reopening will now be on July 17 instead of July 10.

Officials said the installation of their new seats for screens two and four have been put back a week, so patrons will have to wait one more week to return to their venue.
