£30m leisure complex to open in Darlington next year
A £30m leisure complex will open in Darlington, County Durham by the end of next year.
Darlington Borough Council has appointed UK property development group Terrace Hill to transform a 0.75-hectare former bus depot site into a leisure complex.
Designed by local architects Niven, the Feethams Leisure scheme will be anchored by a nine-screen multiplex cinema and will feature an 80-room hotel and a selection of restaurants and bars.
Terrace Hill has secured an agreement with VUE Entertainment to operate the cinema, and is in discussions with Whitbread which is interested in operating an 80-room Premier Inn hotel and Brewers Fayre restaurant.
Alongside national restaurants, Terrace Hill is welcoming proposals from independent businesses that wish to locate at the complex.
Councillor Bill Dixon, leader of Darlington Borough Council said: "It will be an iconic development in the heart of the town offering a much-needed cinema experience.
"Once complete it will be a welcome addition to the already strong culture and leisure offer in the town centre."
