Regal Movieplex

Regal Movieplex is a cinema located in Cromer, Norfolk, England, and is listed among the venues of Merlin Cinemas, an independent British cinema circuit. The Merlin Cinemas portfolio spans Cornwall, Devon, Gloucestershire, Norfolk, North Yorkshire, Somerset, Scotland and Wales, and the Cromer site appears in the circuit's venue directory as 'Regal Movieplex, Cromer'. The 'Movieplex' name signals a multi-screen cinema format, while 'Regal' links the venue to the circuit's broader use of historic cinema names such as the Regal Cinema & Theatre in Redruth and the Regal Theatre in Redruth. As part of Merlin Cinemas, the cinema offers mainstream film programming alongside event cinema, live stage broadcasts, and food and drink including the group's Hollywood Pizza Restaurant brand. The circuit promotes discount cards, gift cards, flexible booking, children's parties, private hire, autism-friendly screenings and digital ID for age verification. The venue is a local entertainment anchor for Cromer and the surrounding north Norfolk coast, operating in a market dominated by larger national chains but sustained by Merlin Cinemas' regional, community-focused model. Ownership is private; the cinema trades under the Merlin Cinemas umbrella rather than as a listed company. Detailed founding dates, screen counts and seating capacities for the Cromer site are not established by the available evidence.
