When the cinema in Lifford opened in 1996 the local area was without such a facility for 13 years, following the closure of the Commodore Cinema in Strabane in 1983.

Over the past 20 years the cinema experience has changed considerably, and with that has come the challenge of keeping up with those changes. “It’s vitally important to be continually evolving and improving on things,” Slevin’s Pharmacy Lifford kindly sponsored Lifford Celtic Youths with tracksuit training tops for the Foyle Cup back in July.
