Imax seats donated to Shelley Theatre

SOME of them must barely have been sat in – but 220 seats from Bournemouth’s Imax have been donated to a small theatre.

Bournemouth council says it expects to recycle 97 per cent of the town’s Waterfront building and its contents as it begins demolishing the ill-fated attraction.

It has donated 220 seats from the former giant-screen cinema to the Shelley Theatre in Boscombe.
