    Film fans and loyal customers in the area, alongside Vue founder and CEO Tim Richards and Vue UK and Ireland general manager, Toby Bradon, sampled the upgraded big screen experience at a celebratory launch event on Monday, to mark the unveiling of the venue’s new look. The gathering of big screen enthusiasts was treated to exclusive preview screenings of Wicked Little Letters and National Theatre Live’s Vanya.
