News Release 20th August 2007CINEMA CHALLENGE FOR LICHFIELDMichael Fabricant has issued a challenge to enterprising Lichfeldians to find a new use for an abandoned supermarket and open a specialised cinema in the City. "There are a number of small towns in the midlands with newly opened specialist single-screen cinemas able to offer different choices from the usual multi-screen complexes. They have become very popular. With the unfortunate closure of Kwik Save in Lichfield, and the Kwik Save website saying that the building is available for sale, which bold Lichfeldian will convert it back to a cinema? "Although a multi-screen cinema is on the cards for Lichfield in the new Birmingham Road development, an enterprising group could restore the glory of the old cinema in Tamworth Street and make it into something really special and different. Many of these new bijou cinemas have luxury seating with the ability to take a glass of wine in to see a quality movie. Wouldn't this be something really special for Lichfield and Burntwood?" asks Michael. The building which until recently housed Kwik Save in Tamworth Street, Lichfield was originally opened in 1932 as the Regal Cinema and designed in the classic art nouveau style. |
