It includes the installation of a giant digital ceiling - 'Europe’s largest and a dynamic platform for immersive audio-visual performances'.

Work on the screens was completed by September, with the venue as a whole completed earlier this month.

It's perfect timing for the cinema, which as well as showing new releases, will be showing some festive family favourites including Home Alone, Elf and The Muppets Christmas Carol in the run-up to Christmas.

Ian Harris, general manager at Vue Manchester Printworks, said: “We’ve been happy to see customers visit our fully refurbished venue and the reception has been very positive so far.

“As well as new and improved luxury leather seating in all our screens, including our popular IMAX screen, we have made other exciting upgrades to our retail and hospitality areas including Freestyle Coke machines, touchscreen ticket machines and the installation of draught beer taps.

“The customer experience starts from the very moment you walk through the foyer, so with this in mind, we designed these upgrades to ensure that film fans can stock up on their favourite snacks and drinks with ease, sit back in complete comfort and truly get lost in great stories at Manchester Printworks.”
