Vue is bringing the Ultimate Seat, Screen and Sound experience to Basildon. Each of the ten screens will feature stadium-tiered, luxury leather seating alongside Vue’s Recliner seats, high definition 4K screens, Laser Digital projection systems and Dolby Atmos multi-dimensional sound in selected screens.
Tickets will be available on a first come first basis and will be available to book via the Vue website.
Toby Bradon, Vue’s UK&I Territory General Manager, said: “We are delighted to be part of this wonderful event organised by Basildon Council to welcome Vue to the town.
“It is set to be a fantastic day for families with lots of free activities available both inside and outside Vue to keep everyone entertained during the holidays. We are pleased to bring great family films to the big screen as part of the event which will be free to attend and give visitors the opportunity to enjoy the big screen experience at Vue.
“With just days to go before we open our doors, we look forward to welcoming customers to our new venue and becoming part of the Basildon community.” I am looking forward to officially opening the venue at 9:30am on Thursday 25th.”
Owen Sparks, Executive Director of Resources said: “It is such great news to see Vue open in just a matter of days. It is set to be a fantastic leisure facility for the Basildon community.
“I had the opportunity to hear about how plans were progressing to bring it to life a few months ago and I’m looking forward to seeing the venue.
“To mark its arrival we are pleased to host a free family fun day for locals to enjoy with lots of activities to participate in. It is set to be a wonderful day and I would like to thank Vue and Eastgate Shopping Centre for their support in making it happen.”
There are also adventures to be had at Eastgate Shopping Centre which include giveaways, 1995 Jurassic Jeep, plush stall, meet & greet dinosaurs and even some Olympic activity with an in-centre Badminton Court!
