Yesterday evening (July 26), the cinema operator Cineworld confirmed that it would be closing six of its cinemas as part of a restructuring plan.
The news came after it was initially reported by Sky News that 25 cinemas would be on the list.
Fortunately for cinema lovers in Huntingdonshire, the Huntingdon and St Neots Cineworlds are both safe from closure.
The Ely Cineworld is also safe.

If the Restructuring Plan is approved by the court, it will come into effect from late September 2024.
A spokesperson for Cineworld said: "We are implementing a Restructuring Plan that will provide our company with a strong platform to return our business to profitability, attract further investment from the Group, and ensure a sustainable long-term future for Cineworld in the UK."
