Glasgow's The Grosvenor cinema set to reopen after 'significant' refurbishment

Glasgow's oldest cinema is set to reopen its doors after a significant refurbishment.

The Grosvenor will be back open to the public from May 27 - exactly 100 years since it first opened.

The Ashton Lane picture house has been given a new lease of life with customers being treated to a big screen experience with claret leather armchair seats, nestled between individual tables and classic empire lamps.

Sofas are also available with an elevated view and larger table with the whole thing looked over by an elaborate ceiling and cornice detail inspired by Glasgow’s old Art Deco cinemas.

Ahead of the big reopening, bosses said: "With just two screens, you can expect to find the antidote to "multi-plex cinema" right here on Ashton Lane. With a focus on a roster of movies as diverse as our community, we will also be set to offer a robust and jam-packed diary of special screenings and events.

"If you feel like a little "tipple before the trailers" or a bite to eat, we’ve got that covered too, with a food and drinks menu full of proper hotdogs, pinots and pint-sized cocktails in cans.

"If you feel like a little refreshment just before the lights go down, our Usherettes will be visiting the screen with a selection of sweet treats and ice creams."

Bookings are now being taken for Top Gun: Maverick and Downtown Abbey: A New Era.
