The Arc Cinema will welcome film buffs across the north-east to the former Gala Bingo site on Peterhead’s Marischal Street on Friday, October 2.
Initially staff planned to welcome the public ahead of Christmas last year – then again in March.
The launch was, however, postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but now may be just weeks away.
The Irish-based chain has invested £2 million to convert the bingo hall into a five screen cinema.
