Movie fans in Mallow have reason to celebrate as Arc Cinema Mallow reopens following a major, seven-figure refurbishment, bringing a new era of big-screen luxury to North Cork. The upgrades promise a cinema experience that combines style, comfort, and cutting-edge technology, just in time for the winter blockbuster season.
All ten screens now feature brand-new seating, including plush leather recliners and premium comfort options, giving visitors the choice between indulgent luxury or family-friendly value. High-gain screens and upgraded sound systems ensure brighter visuals and immersive audio, making every film, from action-packed hits to festive favourites, truly cinematic.
The refreshed lobby and foyer provide a sleek, modern welcome, complete with improved lighting and layout. Guests can also enjoy Coca-Cola Freestyle® machines, offering over 100 drink combinations for a personalised treat.
Simon Geasley, General Manager of Arc Cinema Mallow, said: “It’s about giving people more choice, more comfort, and more reasons to visit. This isn’t just watching a movie—it’s a complete night out for the community.”
The timing is perfect: opening weekend features the highly anticipated Wicked: For Good and Disney’s Zootropolis 2, followed by the Christmas Classics season, with favourites like Home Alone, Elf, and The Polar Express. Families can also take advantage of updated Family Ticket and Family Combo offers, now catering to smaller groups.
Arc Cinema Mallow also aims to be more than a cinema. The team plans to host school film days, charity screenings, and community events, building on the success of similar initiatives in Cork City.
With state-of-the-art technology, luxurious seating, and a welcoming atmosphere, Arc Cinema Mallow is set to become the go-to destination for entertainment and community gatherings this festive season.
