One of the city’s most popular cinemas is set to face a number of changes as part of new proposals.

Vue Sheffield, in the Oasis centre of Meadowhall shopping centre, will introduce new reclining seats as part of a refurbishment of the site’s facilities.

The new ‘Lux’ leather recliner seats feature a foldaway table for snacks and drinks, more space, and according to management offer the ‘perfect’ viewing position.

All 11 screens will introduce these seats in the coming months, though they have promised that it will result in minimal disruptions to ongoing services as work is carried out in phases.

However, a public notice published on October 9 reveals that that this will result in fewer available seats.

The notice, which is for the application for a changed premise licence, reads: “The proposed variation is to permit changes to the seating configuration in each auditoria, the upgraded seating will lead to a reduction in the seating capacity in the auditoria.

“To permit the showing of films and opening of the premises to the public 24 hours a day each day; to extend the hours of the provision of late night refreshment to 11pm - 5am each day.”

Adrian Pauley, general manager of Vue Sheffield, said: “We are looking forward to unveiling our new look to our customers in Sheffield later this year when they’ll be able to enjoy luxury seating, the latest big screen technology and a refreshed retail area.

“We will remain open throughout the refurbishment so customers can continue to see the latest releases at the venue with screens closed and reopened in phases.”
