Vue Cheshire Oaks will reopen on Friday 7th August with safety in the spotlight.
Ten Vue sites across the country will welcome back the public early next month as part of a phased reopening. Tickets for the first sites, including Cheshire Oaks will go on sale tomorrow, Thursday 30th July.
The home of the ultimate big screen experience in Cheshire is operating under new measures, with safeguarding of customers and staff front of mind.
Brodie Lyons, General Manager at Vue Cheshire Oaks, said: “We’re really pleased to be preparing to reopen our cinema once again and we look forward to welcoming film fans back soon.
“We’ve been working hard to ensure our site here in Cheshire meets safety protocols in line with the latest government guidance.”
Film fans can look forward to enjoying the big screen experience at Vue Cheshire Oaks, with the reassurance of knowing their safety is front of mind. Vue has focussed on five key areas to ensure customers can enjoy the cinema as safely at possible:
-
Online booking is encouraged to make visits as contactless as possible. Tickets can be accessed on smartphones and will be scanned before entering the screen. Booking online allows you to skip the queue and is now the cheapest way to book tickets at the site.
-
Enhanced cleaning protocols and Employee PPE are in place. This includes disinfecting every screen between each screening and hand sanitiser stations available throughout venues. Staff will be equipped with PPE to protect themselves and customers.
-
Physical distancing meeting government guidelines has been built into the booking system so that customers in one booking are automatically seated apart from others.
-
Reduced touch points at venues through foyers and into screens. Entrances and screen doors will also be open to let customers walk through before and after screenings. Contactless payments up to the value of £45 and Apple Pay and Google Pay will be accepted and encouraged at till points.
-
Staggered film times will be implemented to maintain physical distancing and reduce the number of people at any one time in foyers and corridors
The specific measures implemented will vary depending on the Vue venue, but they will always be clearly signposted at the entrances and throughout the building, and will be in line with government and public health guidance. All customers will be required to take part in the Test & Trace initiative to help keep themselves and others safe.
Vue’s team will have two full days of extensive training ahead of reopening on these protocols. On hand will be the newly established safety team ready to welcome customers back in, explain the new procedures and answer any questions.
Brodie added: “We want film-lovers across the region and in surrounding areas to know that the quality of our viewing experience remains unchanged and we continue to offer the best audio and picture quality in big screen entertainment.
“There’s a lot to look forward to on the big screen this year, including the hotly anticipated releases of Wonder Woman 1984 and The King’s Man, as well as filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s latest blockbuster, Tenet. A number of ‘customer favourite’ films will also be back on the big screen where they belong including the Harry Potter series; Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back; and a collection from Nolan’s catalogue including Batman Begins, Inception and Dunkirk
