The
cinema opened (along with the rest of the centre) on
September 18, 1976. Originally it showed only arthouse films
thanks to a tie-in with the GFT, but this was not a financial
success. The last film shown there was "The Hulk" on Sunday 17th
August 2003. Films are no longer shown, although the cinema can still
be hired
for private viewings, and the auditorium is regularly used as a
theatre. Seating was 323 on opening, now 311 to give space for
wheelchair users.
