Leeds co-working space announces opening of new private hire cinema
A co-working space located in Leeds Dock has opened a bouitique private hire cinema and a suite of new offices as part of its expansion plans.
Since opening in a former casino in February 2023, Level One and the mezzanine workspaces of Department are now mostly occupied.
Level Two of the four-storey building will open this Autumn, offering 3,860 sq ft of more private offices and meeting rooms as well as a content creators suite, podcast facilities and social areas including phone booths and an events space with a bar.
The new boutique cinema has a capacity of 38 to 60, with flexible seating arrangements including sofas and theatre-style event seating, as well as a state-of-the-art screen with a surround sound system.
Department’s general manager, Amy Matthams, said: “The new cinema is an amazing addition to the new Level 2 of Department, giving a unique backdrop for presentations, speaker events or brand launches. It’s also an ideal space for businesses looking for a different kind of party venue this Christmas."
Department Leeds Dock is a flexible workspace operator with coworking, private offices and creative studios across Leeds and Manchester.
The new private cinema venue costs £100 per hour to hire or £700 for a full day, and enquiries are through the Department website.
