A BARGAIN is being offered to mark the return of the big screen.

On Saturday, a Winnersh cinema is to reopen its doors to offer movie lovers a Covid-secure viewing experience.

The Showcase Cinema de Lux is going Back To The Future with a selection of old favourites and new classics. There’s also family favourites and some Jane Austen to enjoy.

Over the summer, fans of Showcase Cinemas on social media voted for their favourite films, with The Shining and The Shawshank Redemption winning their categories. These will be screened at a later date.

Guests are advised to book tickets online in advance or use self-service ticket machines in the cinema lobby. And the cinema has a thorough cleaning regime in place, plus multiple hand sanitising stations for guests to use.

And tickets cost £5 each.
