Pavilion Cinema Galashiels celebrates its 20th anniversary under the Poole family

Last Sunday, the Poole family celebrated their 20th year of ownership of the Pavilion Cinema Galashiels.

The family run independent cinema, which boasts four fully digital screens and two 3D systems, is located on the face of Market Street and serves the population of Galashiels as well as the wider Scottish Borders community.

After being taken over by the Poole family in 1993, the dilapidated single-screen building was transformed into a four screen cinema before being reopened in 1996. Today, with their oldest family member still making film bookings at 80 years old, the Pooles continue to build on their impressive 32 years' experience in the cinema industry.
