Wisbech cinema The Luxe open again

Wisbech’s The Luxe Cinema has been busy welcoming back film goers after reopening following the lockdown.

The cinema, in Alexandra Road, has introduced measures to help keep film fans safe, including temperature monitoring and asking guests to wear a face covering (unless exempt) or face shields where its difficult to socially distance and where possible to pay only by contactless card payment.

In addition protective screens have also been fitted at till points to help ensure staff safety too.

A spokesman for the Luxe Cinema added: “One of the many measures we are taking to keep you safe, comfortable and confident is temperature monitoring to look for fevers.

“This is a quick and efficient process. Thank you to all who have been so brilliant with the measures thus far, it helps us to help you.

“Remember that we are taking extra steps to give you the confidence to visit, and we ask that you follow our team’s instructions.”

Due to COVID-19 and lockdown, the Luxe team have paused some of their ongoing renovations - but the bar area is back in use and restrooms are all decorated and in full use.

The spokesman added: “Once restrictions and guidance allows, we shall recommence them, but our priority has been for the workers involved and the team”.
