Minsthorpe/Northfield

The Original Minsthorpe Cinema
Minsthorpe/Northfield is a cinema in South Kirkby that was built in 1969. Wakefield Council shut it down unfortunately in 2013 due to repairs costing £1.2 million, Wakefield Council said because they were facing huge cuts to their budget at the time, they couldn't afford to reopen it, much to the dismay of the local community.

The New Minsthorpe Cinema
However, on March 2, 2017, Wakefield Council announced that there will be a new multiplex cinema in the area.

The cinema will be located on Ash Grove, which was where the previous cinema was located.

The cinema will be much bigger than the previous cinema, and there is predicted to be about eleven screens in the multiplex.

The cinema is expected to open in Spring 2018.
