‘More reason to go into the city’ - This was your reaction to Preston’s planned new cinema complex

Artists' impressions of the new Preston Market and cinema complex

The next planning application, to be tabled before city council planners, will include some of the finer details of the development.

First look at Preston's new cinema

The leisure complex, coming to the site of the former indoor market, also includes restaurants facing Preston Market Hall, a new public realm and a multi-storey car park.

Preston City Council (PCC), Muse Developments and Maple Grove are working in partnership to deliver the scheme with another planning application expected in the “coming months.”

"Why another cinema? We already have two in Preston."April Turner

"Because you don’t have to drive to this one, and then you can go into town for a drink / meal etc. So more accessible for everyone and it will result in more money going into Preston."Rebecca Hewitson

"Looks great. More reason to go into city centre, for shopping, meal and cinema. Bring it on."Linda Catterall

"Why didn’t they just use the Guild Hall?"Gary Churchman

"Or refurbish the old cinema on Fishergate?Rick Moore

"Another waste of money - they should be encouraging all age groups to go into Preston with a better market and shops - not many go to the cinema now plus not everyone can afford the cinema. I personally think this is a waste of money."Karan Tett

"Looks much better than the car park that was there, great to see a cinema back in the city centre - can’t wait!!"Nazma Ahmed
