Unprecedented crowds outside the Regal


Hugh crowds queued outside the Tenbury Wells Teme Street Regal Cinema tonight hoping to see the latest blockbuster movie 'Mamma Mia'.

The queue started forming an hour before the screening was due to start and quickly built to be over a hundred metres long.

The Art Deco style 1937 cinema only has a maximum capacity of 260 seats, so hundreds of people had to be turned away.

Hopefully this new found enthusiasm for screening popular films in Tenbury will be continued and this will help to raise the cinemas profile to enable the new management and the Town Council to raise the much needed finance and grant aid to carryout extensive repairs.

5 straight full houses - Is this a record for the Regal?

The Regal Film Team are trying to get Mamma Mia back as part of the October Film Festival.

Well done Mr Ben Bydawell for keeping the Regal going

Let's hope they get it back for the Film Festival and that they give the Film Festival lots of good publicity.
