The Villa’s Broadway Cinema will only open five days a week from the end of this month.
Blaming a change in habits since Covid and the rise in streaming, the cinema says it has seen a drop in attendances.
The cinema will remain open Wednesday to Sunday, with additional matinees programmed during school and bank holidays.
It will also open on Mondays and Tuesdays for occasional event cinema screening.
As well as this, the Villa Marina and Villa Gardens will also close on Monday and Tuesday evenings, unless hosting specific events in the Villa Marina or Villa Marina Arcade, or whilst there are shows taking place at the Gaiety Theatre.
The cost cutting measure has been taken in order to “better align with current demand, ensuring its sustainability and continued role in VillaGaiety’s year-round entertainment offering”.
Management said: “We appreciate your understanding and look forward to continuing to welcome our community to enjoy cinema screenings. As always our team is available to assist with any queries regarding this change.”
