Vue has focused on five key areas to ensure customers can enjoy the cinema as safely as possible:

*Online booking is encouraged to make visits as contactless as possible. Tickets can be accessed on smartphones and will be scanned before entering the screen, allowing you to skip the queue.

*Enhanced cleaning protocols and employee PPE are in place. This includes disinfecting every screen between each screening and hand sanitiser stations available throughout venues. Staff will be equipped with PPE to protect themselves and customers.

*Physical distancing meeting government guidelines has been built into the booking system so that customers in one booking are automatically seated apart from others.

*Reduced touch points at venues through foyers and into screens. Contactless payments up to the value of £45 and Apple Pay and Google Pay will be accepted and encouraged at till points. Staggered film times will be implemented to maintain physical distancing and reduce the number of people at any one time in foyers and corridors.

Diane Edwards, general manager at Vue Lancaster, said: “We’re really pleased to be preparing to reopen our cinema once again and we look forward to welcoming film fans back soon.

“We’ve been working hard to ensure our site meets safety protocols in line with the latest government guidance.”

Customers will be required to wear a face covering during their visit, although this can be removed to consume food and drink.
