A new concept in luxury cinema and stylish dining is coming to the Regent Arcade in Cheltenham.

TIVOLI has chosen the shopping centre for the opening of only its second movie-going experience.

The boutique cinema and restaurant are proposed for the redevelopment of the former BHS store in Regent Arcade, if planners give the go-ahead.

TIVOLI selected the SouthGate centre in Bath for the launch of its first boutique cinema and it is scheduled to open in December. If all goes well Cheltenham will be next with the new cinema likely to open by the end of 2019.

The developers say TIVOLI redefines the casual dining movie-going experience - from the luxurious extra-wide sofas set between individual tables to the selection of hot and cold food and drinks served to you before the movie starts.

It is described as "A merger of the best in casual dining, five-star hotel quality lounge areas and the latest films, relaxing within stylish auditoria with excellent sight and sound, including all-laser projection for crisp clean images coupled with TIVOLI's widescreen experience.

There will be a licensed cafe-bar and restaurant serving food, coffee, cakes, wines and beers throughout the day. And for that extra special occasion, there's the Directors Lounge and Screen -described as a unique and exclusive experience.
