Basildon Festival Leisure Park has been evacuated.

Hundreds of people are currently outside of the cinema complex and fire engines have been called to the scene.

Maldon and Burnham Standard:

Essex Police said they have not been called to attend.

A reporter has gone to the scene and we will bring you updates as we get them.

A witness at the scene said the evacuation was apparently caused by workers who hit a cable, causing the fire alarm to go off.

A spokesman from Essex Fire and Rescue said they were responding to a false alarm at the cinema.
