ON FRIDAY (Jul 21), a Haverfordwest cinema transformed its cinema goers into a vibrant sea of pink as the newly opened Palace Cinema hosted a dazzling ‘Come on Barbie Let’s go Party’ event to mark the premiere of the latest Barbie film, starring none other than Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.

Eager to join the Barbie extravaganza, the audience embraced the theme wholeheartedly, donning their most fabulous pink attire and forming a line that snaked around the block, all eager to be part of the Barbie party at the Palace.

This event was no ordinary movie night, mind you! Alongside exciting prizes for the best-dressed Kens and Barbies, the Palace Cinema pulled out all the stops to ensure an unforgettable experience. Patrons were treated to a fun-filled photo booth, bubbly pink fizz, scrumptious popcorn, and even delectable frozen cocktails, exclusively for the over 18 crowd. And believe it or not, all of this extravagant fun came at a mere £6 per ticket! Bargain hunters, rejoice!

Laughter and excitement filled the air as Pembrokeshire’s Kens and Barbies came together for the eagerly anticipated film, which has garnered heaps of praise. The Independent raved about it, granting it an impressive five stars, while Rotten Tomatoes boasted a stellar 90 percent score. Critics were quick to commend the film’s empowering feminist themes and delightfully subversive humor, which led some to describe it as a “near miraculous achievement.”

The story unfolds as Barbie and Ken embark on a journey of self-discovery following an existential crisis, and audiences were left spellbound by the heartfelt and witty narrative.

For those who haven’t yet joined the Barbie brigade, fear not! The film will continue gracing the screens of the Palace Cinema until Thursday, July 27. However, be warned, the 12.30 showing today has already sold out! So hurry, secure your tickets before it’s too late!

The Palace Cinema’s triumphant return this spring was nothing short of a cinematic fairytale. Earlier fears about its future were laid to rest when the enterprising independent cinema operator, Sinema Palace Ltd, stepped in to breathe new life into this iconic century-old venue. Under their enthusiastic management, the cinema has undergone a remarkable transformation.

The cinema’s interior now shines like never before, thanks to a tasteful renovation of the foyer. Screen 2 received a major upgrade, with bigger and comfier seats that offer moviegoers more legroom, ensuring they can relax in style. The entire screen was recarpeted, ensuring a plush and inviting ambiance.

And that’s not all! The dedicated team at the Palace Cinema has even grander plans to refurbish Screen 1 and other public areas, including the much-appreciated loo spaces, in the very near future. Clearly, this cinema is committed to providing its patrons with the ultimate movie experience.
