WESTON'S Odeon Cinema has announced to members that it will be closing.

In an email written to members, a spokesperson from the cinema chain writes: "We are sorry to announce that, following a thorough assessment of all available options, we have made the very difficult decision to close ODEON Weston-super-Mare on June 5, as it is no longer viable to operate the cinema.

"Looking after our people is our number one priority and we are looking to secure jobs for as many team members as possible in one of our other local cinemas.

"We would like to thank you for choosing ODEON Weston Super Mare to enjoy the magic of cinema and we hope that you'll continue to be our guest at ODEON Taunton, or any other of our cinemas across the UK and Ireland."

The Weston Mercury has contacted the cinema to find out more.
