Central Cinema, Torquay
Merlin Cinemas are a British cinema chain formed in 1990 and predominantly operate in small coastal towns. We operate in traditional cinema buildings rather than new builds, many of which have been extensively refurbished and modernised to include luxury screens with waiter service, plus licensed bars, restaurants and live theatre. We operate the most Southerly cinema in the UK mainland at Penzance, and the most Northerly in Thurso.
