The Cinema is now undergoing a major renovation and expansion to bring the total number of screens to 11. This complex is by far the nicest in the region.
It actually opened a only 2 screens. A third was added in 1982. The largest of the original screens was twinned in 1986-87. 4 news screens were added in 2000 and a complete remodel of the lobby and 3 new screens open this month.
