Henley’s old Regal Cinema closed down in 1986 and remained empty until its demolition in 1993. When Waitrose built its supermarket on the site of the old cinema, they provided a new cinema which opened in February 1997 (you can see the John Lewis green used in the doors and windows) and was operated by Metro Tartan, a well-known independent film distribution company. In December 2005 the Regal joined the Picturehouse group of cinemas, and was rechristened the Regal Picturehouse.
