Film experience was good but start delayed by 15 mins. A week later I received a parking fine for £100 despite following all the steps given by VUE. Have appealed unsuccessfully and so still have to pay. One trip to cinema has therefore cost a ridiculous amount purely due to VUE's failed parking process.
Very disappointed as there appears to be nothing I could have done to avoid this, so be very careful if you are visiting this VUE Cinema in Northampton.

Terrible experience at Vue Cinema Northampton.
Arrived in plenty of time at Cinema in order to purchase food and drinks, unfortunately there was a horrendous queue, as only 1 person was serving.
By the time we were served it was almost time for the film to begin.
I purchased 2 popcorn and 2 soft drinks and was charged £24.06, we were in such a rush that I just tapped my card and left, we didn't want to miss beginning of film. When I got home and thought about cost I checked the website and I had been overcharged.
I have contacted Vue Customer Service, and they weren't interested, obviously not bothered the staff overcharge customers
The trip to the cinema for 2 children and 1 senior, cost almost £50.
Needless to say I won't be going there again.

We knew that it was an relatively old multiplex but the reason we booked the tickets was the option for a subtitled movie, as we have I got some hearing issues. Paid the premium for the VIP seats for the specific screening that was mentioned as subtitled, also for the seriously overpriced fizzy drink and snacks (5.99 for a coke, no combo price there...) the movie started 25 minutes late.. and no subtitles.
No matter the excuse, we won't be going back to any Vue cinemas in the future, thank you very much.

We went cinema in vue Northampton at 19/8/23. We entered our car details for free parking. Now we got £60. parking fee. We paid £61.50. It is shameful to charge parking fee for watching movie. No proof of parking fee we paid by email. So now we stopped watching movie there.

Please don’t park in the car park at Sol Central. System doesn’t work, fined for being slightly ‘over’ (less than 10 minutes) and UK car park management passed to the county court with no warning letters, they can issue CCJ’s which affect credit rating. No way of speaking to anyone at Sol about this. Car park was nearly empty at the time

I’ve been visiting this cinema with my dad for over 10 years, and I’ve never been unsatisfied with the experience. With many great sized theatres and staff are always happy to help and assist, it’s very accessible for disabled visitors. However like any cinema the foods purchased on site are very pricey, so would recommend nipping to the local shop (Poundland) to grab a drink and sweets

Half term visit for me and grandchildren. Pleasent and helpful staff. Comfortable seating and very clean. Cost was reasonable but £2.50 for a small bottle of water was a bit over the top. Overall a successful trip but the carpark is just to narrow for anything bigger than a mini car.

Large cinema, easy parking, seems to be clean. VIP seats are definitely worth the extra £1.50p comfortable and clean, wasn't very busy, staff friendly. Food over priced as any cinema is. Popcorn ok, asked fir a mix of salt and sweet which was accommodated by a very helpful young lady named layla.
Picture quality good and sound clear and not to over loud.
Would I return..yes

I visited the vue cinema today to watch a film with my sister and we encountered a problem with our online tickets and it wouldn’t allow us to put in the code on the ticket booth to validate our booking. A friendly member of staff called Harry assisted us and even though the tills has been removed as it was close to closing time, he was happy to help and went the extra mile to resolve this, good work vue this kind of customer service will keep us as returning customers and harry should receive a commendation for his efforts!!

Vue Cinema Northampton - Do I need to validate parking while entering the cinema or while coming out from the cinema after movie?
