Vue have announced that they will reopen their cinemas in certain locations - here is a full list of those opening next week.

Vue cinemas are set to reopen next week with staggered movie times.

The chain will open its doors on 7 August, and will have a number of safety measures in place - including online booking, social distancing, and enhanced cleaning rules. Employees will also wear protective gear.

Toby Bradon, territory general manager of Vue Entertainment in the UK, said in a statement: "Behind the scenes, we've been working hard to develop safety protocols in line with government guidelines and informed by our recently reopened cinemas across Europe.

"The safety of those who work and visit our sites is paramount and we've therefore taken the time to ensure protocols and staff training are in line with the latest guidance ahead of opening.

"We can’t wait to welcome back film-lovers. The quality of our viewing experience remains unchanged and we’re continuing to offer the best sound and picture quality in big screen entertainment."

Cinemas were given the green light to reopen on 4 July, but very few chose to do so.

Films that will be shown at Vue cinemas will include old favourites like Harry Potter, Dunkirk, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Batman Begins and Inception.

The full schedule is set to be released on Friday.
