Newbury's new cinema has already been given the seal of approval.

Around four hundred people turned out for the official gala open evening at the Kennet Centre cinema last night and everyone we spoke to was full of praise for the complex.

It wasn't a ribbon, but some film that was cut to mark the opening.

There were speeches from the Chairman of West Berkshire Council, the Chief Operating Officer at Vue and the Mayor of Newbury, who's promised he'll become a regular at the cinema.

Visitors were then treated to a 3D screening of Disney's A Christmas Carol.

You can see all the photos from the evening below and if you click play on the right you'll be able to hear what some lucky guests made of it all.
