Announcing the news to social media, Hyde Park Picture House wrote: "It’s finally here! Say hello to Screen Two. Following our reopening last month, the final part of our redevelopment project is now complete.
"Made possible thanks to support from Heritage Fund UK and Leeds Council, our brand new 51 seat second screen, located in a new lower level, will be transformative for HPPH, allowing us show even more amazing films, sooner than we could before and for longer.
"We’re super thrilled with how it’s turned out - huge thanks to @pageparkarchitects, @buro_happold, @gt_llp, @avison_young_uk & Triton Construction for transforming what was once a small, bare, underused basement into an amazing new screening space for everyone in Leeds to enjoy!"
We can't wait to take a seat in front of this plush new screen and enjoy a blockbuster or two.
The finale of The Celebrity Traitors is hitting our TV screens next Friday, and there’s a big screening party happening in Leeds especially for it.
Don't panic guys, it's happening.
Fancy sitting down to watch one of the cultural events of the year on a big screen with dozens of others who are just as invested in the show as you are? Well, now you can.
And that’s because Belgrave Music Hall, one of the city’s most beloved event spaces and bars, will be hosting a finale watching party and we’re all invited.
Taking place next Friday 23 January, fans of The Traitors are invited to watch the finale which kicks off 9pm in the canteen.
Best part? The tickets are absolutely free and we've no doubt there'll be some banging drink deals on to get the party started.
We’re already searching our wardrobes for an item of clothing that remotely resembles a cloak.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Belgrave said: "The world famous Traitors finale screening is back at Belgrave! In the past we've been graced with the presence of OG Faithful @theomayne1, plus our Clauds has been known to make an appearance (please scroll for evidence)... twists and turns are promised 👀"
So to give this series of The Traitors a proper send off, get yourself to Belgrave Music Hall from 6pm and enjoy a few beverages with like minded fans whilst screaming at the screen as Claudia makes her way into the frame.
Whilst we're on the topic, has anyone got an incredibly glossy black fringed wig we could borrow?
