Congratulations to the Gala Cinema in Durham on its conversion to digital last week.
The centrepiece of Durham’s arts programme, the Gala Theatre, is situated in a beautiful, purpose-built, £15m building on the banks of the River Wear in the heart of this historic city. The venue houses a state-of-the-art modern theatre, spacious and comfortable café-bar, two cinema screens and superb conference facilities.
With a programme of live events attracting some of the country’s leading theatre companies, comedians, bands and musicians, and two cinemas screening the latest blockbusters alongside independent and classic films, the Gala offers the very best in entertainment.
"Gala is a hugely popular venue and our cinema has screened thousands of films since we opened 10 years ago,” says Robin Byers, Programme and Operations Manager at the Gala Theatre and Cinema. “We are delighted to now be installing new digital technology throughout the building, and to be able to offer our loyal customers the best possible cinema-going experience. We are really looking forward to being able to present films in 3D and we have great ideas for some exciting cinema experience days in our 500 capacity main auditorium. It's an exciting time for Gala, and we're looking forward to seeing packed cinemas over the coming months".
