Cineworld Barnsley: Work begins on inside of new 13-screen cinema at Glass Works

Interior works have begun on Barnsley’s new Cineworld cinema, as part of the town centre’s £210m Glass Works development.

The 13-screen, 2,000 seat cinema is set to open by late summer, and will join TGI Fridays, Nandos, Cruise and River Island in the town centre’s flagship Glass Works scheme.

Sir Steve Houghton CBE, leader of Barnsley Council, said he is “confident” that Barnsley will “have one of the most vibrant town centres in the north of England”.

“Since The Glass Works began its phased opening in September, there’s been a hugely positive atmosphere and we’ve seen many people returning to the town centre for shopping and leisure,” Sir Steve added.

“Add to this our action-packed events programme and there’s never been so many reasons to enjoy a day out in the town centre.

“Like everywhere, COVID-19 has provided real challenges, but we’re determined to support our retail and leisure tenants and we’re confident that when this final phase is open, Barnsley will have one of the most vibrant town centres in the north of England.”
