Gaiety Launches Lounge and events
The Gaiety
It only seems like yesterday that the Gaiety Cinema in Whitehaven announced their re-opening, thrusting us all back in time childhood memories in toe. Since then, the historic Tangier Street venue has attracted both locals and visitors eager to reminisce and now it is getting even better.
Now, complementing the vintage 1920s theatre room is a stunning new lounge area. The new lounge includes original cinema seating, parquet flooring, and a brand new urban bar. The mix of contemporary décor and vintage posters creates a wonderfully unique neo-traditional atmosphere.
Pop along early to enjoy pre-film drinks; with beers, wines, freshly ground coffee and teas available, as well as the usual soft drinks, ice creams, popcorn and snacks all being served you will be spoilt for choice or relax and discuss the ‘best bits’ of the film you’ve just seen with friends.
The opening of the lounge area also coincides with the launch of a new ‘event cinema’ programme; including live and ‘as live’ broadcasts from: theatres, ballets, concerts and operas. This new programme offers arts and music fans of Copeland the chance to view performances they may never normally get the chance to see.
Events lined up so far include: Opera Australia’s performance of Turandot filmed live at the Sydney Opera House and ‘The Fairy Tale Series’ including: Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Coppélia performed by the stunning Australian Ballet.
Andre Rieu also makes a very welcome return after his Maastricht Concert was screened at the Gaiety in July, with a special Christmas show on Saturday 19th November. Tickets are on sale now for all event performances via the Gaiety website.
And if ‘lounging’ and live events aren’t your thing then don’t forget the Gaiety still continues to be the only place to watch all the latest and greatest movies in Copeland.
Open every evening and throughout the day during the school holidays, the cinema has some treats in store for moviegoers over the coming months, with Suicide Squad, The BFG, Bad Moms and Bridget Jones’s Baby to name but a few!
