BUSINESS NEWS Of course the biggest bit of business news in May by far is the opening of our spanking new cinema – The Depot – with its restaurant, bars and other facilities. As we went to press we learnt the pricings of tickets, which are generally lower than the equivalent in Brighton cinemas. On Sunday to Thursday tickets cost £6 in the day, and £8 after 5pm. On Friday and Saturday tickets cost £9 all day. Students, concessions and kids' tickets cost £4. A year’s membership will set you back £40 but that includes four free tickets, £1 off any film you see that year, and 10% off food and drink (though not in conjunction with other offers). We were also told some of the releases in the opening weekend, the range of which gives an indication of the breadth of programming we can expect to see in the future. Films include 60s classics (Jean-Luc Godard’s Le Mépris, see right) Oscar winners (La La… sorry, Moonlight) foreign language drama (The Handmaiden, Elle, The Salesman) documentaries (The Eagle Huntress, Life, Animated) superhero scifi (Logan) and kids’ films (Peppa the Pig, Beauty and the Beast). See you there. It’s a bit ‘after the Lord Mayor’s Show’, but the other big opening to report on is actually a re-opening, of Southover Grange, which sees its first wedding, since shutting for long-term refurbishment, on April 29th. Why are we telling you this in Business News? The facilities will also be available for private hire. We were interested to note that, despite the old Lloyds Bank building on the High Street looking as dowdy as ever, Côte have started advertising for staff: hopefully the presence of the French-themed restaurant – under the same management as Bill’s – will bring some footfall that way, because the closure of Dome hairdressers has left even more empty premises at the west end of the top of town. Last chance gulch if you want to enter the Lewes District Business Awards, which you have to do by 5pm on May 5th. We are proud to be sponsoring the Culture, Leisure and Tourism Award. Finally, a few shorts. If you need to know somewhere your friends can stay if there’s no room on the couch, a new independent collective has started, called Short Stay Lewes, offering bed and breakfast accommodation in and around town. And good luck to Kit and Kaboodle, a Lewes-based ‘online retail emporium’ selling high-quality gentlemen’s clothing. One of the two gentlemen running the business is Gustav Temple, editor of The Chap magazine, which should tell you much of what you need to know about the style of clothes on offer. And finally, it’s May, so it’s time for Pells Pool to open, on May 20th. Check their website for details of times and prices: please note 10am starts and early morning swim options.
