CINEMA fans can see the latest film releases for £2 at the Empire Theatre, Consett, and the Civic Hall, Stanley, from tomorrow until Thursday, July 20.

The cut-price policy has been adopted to attract students who may be at a loose end after exams.

An extra weekly matinee showing at 2pm has been added to the programme each Wednesday at the Empire Theatre.

These showings will complement the regular Thursday matinee, which runs all year at the Civic Hall, in Stanley.

Managers also hope the cheap seats will attract pensioners and single parents.
