Families can look forward to getting lost in magical worlds, by re-visiting the tale of the boy who lived, in Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone, or watching the adventures of two teenage elves in Onward.
Crowd pleasers such as Bridesmaids will also be available for those in need of a good laugh, and dancing shoes can be worn for the return of fan-favourite La La Land.
And for film-buffs missing the complete experience, cinematic classics such as Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back and Dunkirk will be screening, rounding off a slate of big screen entertainment that provides something for every taste.
Robert Smith, General Manager at Vue Edinburgh Ocean, said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming in football fanatics and are anticipating an excellent atmosphere as Europe’s top sides look to finish their delayed seasons in style.
“Fans can look forward to enjoying the action knowing that their safety is front of mind. Vue Edinburgh Ocean will be operating under measures including carefully managed customer flow systems, enhanced cleaning protocols and state-of-the-art booking systems to ensure our customers are back in the big screen enjoying great content in the safest possible way.”
Bruce Cuthbert, Connectivity and Commercial Sport Director, BT’s Consumer division, said: “With the addition of Vue Cinemas as a partner, and the increasing availability of the BT Sport app on new platforms and devices, BT Sport has never been more widely or easily available to sports fans.”
