The wait is finally almost over! We are thrilled to confirm that The Arc Cinema and the Arc Arena will officially open their doors in Bray Central in November 2026.
This isn’t just a cinema; it’s a 40,000 sq. ft. entertainment revolution designed to bring the magic of the big screen and premium socialising back to the heart of our town.
What’s Coming to Bray Central:
- Five-Screen Luxury Cinema: Every screen will feature The Arc’s signature handmade leather reclining seats for ultimate comfort.
- The Hypersense Screen: Experience blockbusters on a giant wall-to-wall screen with 4K laser projection and immersive Dolby Atmos® sound.
- The Arc Arena: A huge new leisure space featuring Boutique Bowling, Adventure Golf, Interactive Darts, Shuffleboard, and a premium bar and arcade.
Brian Gilligan, Director of The Arc Cinema, said: “We are incredibly proud to join the Bray community and to be contributing to its status as an important leisure destination for locals and visitors alike. We believe that our core principles — great film presentation, friendly service, comfortable surroundings and a strong connection to the communities we serve – will significantly enhance Bray’s leisure and nighttime offering.”
This project is a massive win for Bray, creating over 40 new local jobs and bringing occupancy in the Bray Central development to over 90%. It solidifies our town as the premier leisure destination on the East Coast, providing a top-tier space for families, friends, and film fans to gather.
Ciara Nixon, Centre Manager at Bray Central, said: “This is a long-awaited addition for Bray, and I know local people will join me in welcoming The Arc when it opens its doors in November 2026.”
