The Regal cinema, in Stowmarket, is reducing the cost of its tickets to 5p to celebrate a year since re-opening its doors following a major refurbishment.

The cinema was previously a single auditorium venue but underwent a multi-million-pound refurbishment which added an extra two auditoriums and a café bar.

The initiative will take place on Saturday May 28, featuring recent family films, Clifford The Big Red Dog (PG), at 10.25am, and Sing 2 (U), at 11am.

Five pence was the average cost of a ticket in 1936, when The Regal first opened its doors.

Customer experience manager at The Regal, Billie King said: “It is hard to believe our fantastic venue has been back open for a whole year!

"We have had a hugely positive response from the local community, so to say thank you and mark the anniversary, we wanted to do something special.”

5p tickets will be on sale from 9am on Sunday May 8, either online here, over the phone (01449 612825) between 4 - 5pm, or in person.
