Caroline Smith- a local resident and newly appointed manager of The Arc Cinema – is now looking to recruit a team of 20 passionate individuals with a hospitality background and a love of film to deliver a hugely enjoyable leisure experience to the people of Beeston. Online applications are welcomed via Indeed and on their Facebook page.
Caroline says, ”I am really looking forward to lighting up the centre of Beeston with this great new cinema. Recent research highlighted that for 59% of the UK population, cinema-going is their most missed out of home entertainment activity so we know people are as keen to see us as we are to see them. All the relevant COVID-19 restrictions will be in place, but we are certain that they won’t detract from the overall experience. We can’t wait to open our doors.”Access for all is key to The Arc Cinema’s offer with all screens wheelchair accessible and subtitled screenings, kids’ clubs and parent and baby screenings part of the offer. There is also a café and a bar plus all the screens are licensed so you can enjoy a beer or glass of wine while watching the film.The cinema will show the latest blockbuster and independent films as well as broadcast screenings of opera, ballet and theatrical productions.The Arc Cinema is an Irish cinema operator that is currently opening a number of sites in the UK.
