The Regal Cinema in Redruth has made the shortlist of the prestigious Screen Awards 2016.

Merlin Cinemas' flagship venue has six screens, includes a 500 seat dual-purpose cine-live theatre, with Cornwall’s largest cinema screen; a 100 seat off street restaurant, including a separate large meeting and function room.

The cinema has seen admissions rise year on year and is now the busiest cinema in the Merlin group of 14, bringing valuable footfall to the centre of Redruth town and a valuable boost to the local night time economy.

The awards ceremony will be held in London on October 20 and everyone at Merlin Cinemas is keeping their fingers crossed, though getting shortlisted out of almost 800 cinemas in the UK is deemed "a pretty good result."
