Cinema opens at Warrington’s steel-framed leisure development

Cineworld has officially launched its state-of-the-art 13-screen multiplex experience at Time Square, the new £142M leisure and retail development in Warrington.

The key leisure anchor for the mixed-use destination, Cineworld Warrington toasted the launch with an exclusive Gala evening, including a screening of Jumanji: The Next Level on the main-attraction Superscreen.

Kevin Frost, Cineworld’s UK Property Director commented on the launch: “It is a major milestone to be opening our doors within this dynamic development. As an anchor at Time Square, and a pioneering operator, we look forward to seeing Cineworld shape the new face of leisure in Warrington as a community-led venue.”

Warrington Borough Council’s Director of Growth, Steve Park, said: “The official launch of Cineworld’s new multiplex is another significant milestone for the Time Square development. Our town centre is now home to a state-of-the-art cinema complex, further boosting Time Square’s credentials as a first-class leisure destination. It’s great news for Warrington.”

The wider development will also include a continental European-style market hall with capacity for approximately 300 covers and 60 kiosks, including a number of food and beverage operators. Warrington Borough Council’s new headquarters, a 1,160-space car park, and a new public realm.

Working on behalf of main contactor Vinci Construction, James Killelea fabricated, supplied and erected 3,000t of the steel for the scheme.
