The Lowry's Vue cinema has been transformed with leather recliner seats in every screen

Visiting the cinema has just got a whole lot comfier with the addition of leather recliners.

The 'luxurious' seats have been put in all seven screens at the Lowry Outlet's Vue cinema at Salford Quays as part of a major refurbishment of the site.

Every single standard seat has been replaced with a padded leather recliner and each one comes with a table you can pull over to hold your drink and snacks.

It's the second Vue site in Greater Manchester to get the new seats. They were already installed at the Bolton branch at the Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park.

To add to the big screen experience, the Lowry site also features an on-site bar, with a Coca-Cola freestyle machine with more than 100 flavours.

The site reopened in time for audiences to enjoy the highly anticipated blockbuster Avengers: Endgame and families are eager to try out the new seats.

Salford’s Ceremonial Mayor, Councillor Ronnie Wilson, attended the reopening of the venue and said: “I’ve always enjoyed a trip to Vue, and it’s now an even more enjoyable experience.

"Guests only need to visit the venue to see how fantastic it is – it really has been designed with customers in mind.”

Darren Tinsley, general manager of Vue Lowry, added: “We’ve been completely overwhelmed with the response from the local community.

"The difference the recliner seats have made is incredible, and we’re looking forward to welcoming even more people to experience it for themselves.”
