The nine-screen cinema opened to the public recently, boasting the VueXtreme super-sized screen – the largest screen in the north east at well over the size of four double decker buses – and is the first cinema outside of London’s Leicester Square to feature 3D sound. This will include not only the latest Blockbusters, but live 2D and 3D music concerts, sporting events, gaming, comedy, opera and ballet.
Restaurant brands Prezzo and Frankie & Benny’s are the first two to form part of the redevelopment of Manor Walks shopping centre.
The arrival of a Prezzo at Manor Walks will see the national chain open its first restaurant in the North East of England and the new Frankie & Benny’s, which includes al fresco dining, will be a first for Northumberland.
