On Friday 23rd, Burrows Little's latest 10-screen cinema for The Light opened its doors to the Stockport public. When stepping inside this beautiful cinema, you can see a lot of love went into the design of the theatre. It has a classical feel, that old retro cineplex vibe, that has sadly all but vanished in modern times. There are pies sourced from local sources, beer from a local brewery and a cafe’ serving locally made cakes. The cinema is a pillar of community spirit and with the addition of a cafe’ serving a whole host of food, it’s not just a cinema. It’s a gathering and celebration of all things local. People, food and cinema all intertwined in a family-friendly sociable environment.
Every auditorium has a cosy, comfortable and homely vibe. The room is enhanced with mood lighting strips that remind one of a futuristic sci-fi spaceship console. There is plenty of room between the seats and loads space to stretch out and relax. Every single seat in the auditorium had a clear unobscured view of the huge screen.
The Redrock development includes lovely restaurants and an ever-improving landscape with a beautifully designed cinema at the very heart of the development. It's not corporate or intimidating. The Light Cinema fits snuggly and feels very welcome upon your approach to its lovely glass doors.
