A cinema has opened at Manchester Royal Infirmary, which will be able to show blockbuster Hollywood films – sometimes even before their general UK release.
The movie theatre has 50 brightly coloured seats with extra legroom – as well as space for wheelchairs, hospital beds and essential medical equipment.
Elliot Martin from Bury, who saw the cinema’s first screening of the latest Minions movie, said: “It is brilliant for patients like me and I hope I can come back again.”
The 13 year-old, a patient at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, added: “I feel absolutely brilliant and I’d love to watch a Star Wars film here.”
