BURY'S local picture house celebrates ten years of opening this weekend with a family fun day tomorrow, June 19.

Fairground rides, face-painting and the fire brigade will be just some of the attractions on offer for visitors, as the cinema looks back over ten years of entertainment.

When the cinema was opened by Hollywood megastar Liza Minelli in June 1989, the cinema was the flagship of Warner Bros new multiplex cinemas. Boasting 12 screens and 4,000 seats, it was the biggest cinema in Europe.

Since then millions of cinema-goers have enjoyed thousands of films at the Pilsworth multiplex.

Tomorrow's fun starts with the cinema's Saturday kids' club, a screening of Disney's A Goofy Movie at noon, and carries on throughout the day.
