The Northern Light Cinema is bringing a fresh cultural destination to the heart of the town centre
Opening its doors this Friday (20 March), The Northern Light Cinema has landed in Stretford.
With three-screens, the independent venue can be found on Pinnington Lane in the town centre and will showcase a carefully curated programme of new releases, family favourites, cult classics, events and more, solidifying itself as a vibrant hub for both local residents and visitors.
Complete with state-of-the-art digital projection and immersive surround sound, the venue has been designed to deliver exceptional picture clarity and rich, detailed audio across all three screens while comfortable tiered seating, generous legroom and carefully considered sightlines ensure an intimate, high-quality viewing experience.
Each screen has been created with accessibility in mind and features wheelchair spaces, Dolby Accessibility Solution (DAS) are available for those who are hearing impaired and there will be relaxed screenings available (lights are left up and volume is reduced).
As you enter the lobby, you’re welcomed by a cosy café-bar serving locally sourced food and drink, making it an ideal spot to meet friends or unwind before or after a movie.
Chris Houghton, Head of Retail & Leisure at Bruntwood, said: “Northern Light Cinema brings an exceptional new cultural destination to Stretford town centre and we’re delighted to see it opening its doors on 20th March. The cinema brings a welcoming and contemporary space to the area and adds a vibrant cultural offer to the town centre. It is set to play an important role in bringing people together, supporting the continued growth and transformation of Stretford.”
Tony Mundin, founder of Northern Light Cinema, added: “The opening of our cinema marks another important step forward in Stretford’s ongoing transformation. Our venue will bring energy to the town centre and offer a vibrant, welcoming hub for the whole community.”
Cllr Tom Ross, Leader of Trafford Council, said: “We are delighted to welcome this new cinema to Stretford. Supporting arts and heritage is central to the Council’s corporate priorities, and this cinema is a powerful example of that commitment. It strengthens Stretford’s cultural offer, supports the local economy, and enhances the town centre as a vibrant destination. We look forward to seeing people enjoying what this fantastic new venue has to offer.”
Opening weekend screenings include Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling and The Bride starring Jesse Buckley. Family-friendly films include GOAT, featuring Saturday and Sunday. The first week has sixteen different films, so there’s definitely something for everyone.
