Showcase Glasgow East upgraded to state of the art cinema

Cinema-goers can now enjoy state of the art comfort at the movies thanks to the recent completion of a luxury refurbishment to Showcase Glasgow East, which has re-branded as a Showcase Cinema de Lux!

The works at the Glasgow East cinema have now finished, with an updated lobby and spillways and fully customisable electric recliner seats installed as standard in each of the 14 screens.

To celebrate the refurbishment of Scotland’s first Showcase Cinema de Lux, the venue hosted a VIP party this week where guests were treated to a preview of Last Christmas from the comfort of the new fully customisable recliner seats.

Glasgow East is the first Cinema de Lux transformation to come to Scotland, with the site at Paisley due to be completed next month.

Away from the screen, guests explored the Lounge Bar which serves both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, plus self-service Coca-Cola Freestyle machines which give customers the choice of over 100 drinks combinations.

Guests at the cinema will now also be able to enjoy the latest blockbusters, flashback favourites and Event Cinema screenings in ultimate comfort. The luxury upgrade comes at no extra cost to customers, with ticket prices staying the same despite the amazing new features.

Mark Barlow, UK General Manager for Showcase Cinemas said: “We are thrilled to bring our Showcase Cinema de Lux concept to Scotland, and wanted to celebrate in style with a VIP screening. We were the first to deliver recliner seating as standard in the UK, and it’s very important to us that our customers can take advantage of the upgrades at no extra cost. We know that Glasgow cinema-goers will enjoy the unparalled comfort and refreshment choices now available - all in time for the festive season which sees the release of Frozen 2 and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”
