Plans are have been prepared for upgrades to the Paramount and Town Hall.
These include:
- A second screening room with seating for up to 50 including wheelchair accessible spaces.
This will allow two films to be screened simultaneously and enable the cinema to offer a more diverse range of screenings such as National Theatre Live and smaller independent films. - The cinema’s facilities improved throughout, with a new café/bar, box office and concession stand located in the front section of the town hall.
The aim is to make the facilities welcoming and attractive for all visitors, whether they are coming to watch a film or popping in for a coffee.
Subject to planning permission and the sign-off of final designs and costs, work will begin next year (2026).
