A return to the 1950s but with modern facilities too.

A warm welcome from the staff on duty when we arrived on na cold January afternoon. At first sight we could have been back in the 1950s but the comfort of the seats and the quality of the film was on a par with 21st...More

Great value

Sound system could do with an upgrade, distorted at times. Seats are very old and uncomfortable but at half the admission price of all the modern cinemas in the area, if its great value you want, at £4.50 its worth the rough bits! (£9+ elsewhere)

SO DISAPPOINTED

This was our first visit and a huge disappointment. We went to see aqua man and it was so loud it was deafening and sometimes hard to understand due to distortion caused by high volume. Anyway we enjoyed the film until a young lady employee...More

Majestic old building.

Lovely cheap cinema that's only ruined by people rustling crisp packets and crunching their popcorn throughout movies. But that's just what all cinemas are like I guess. The seats are not to uncomfortable which is a bonus too. Could do with having sci fi or...More

Does not have to be modern to be excellent

As mentioned in previous reviews this is an old theatre, you will not find chrome fittings and tinted glass and automated ticket machines, but that is it's charm. It offers exceptional value for money (£4.50 to watch a film) and popcorn and other treats at...More

Avoid if you want to enjoy a film

The cinema itself is great. It's inside what appears to be an old theatre and it gives the venue this unique charm. The seats are large and spacious and you have a lot of leg room. The view is decent as well. Everything is reasonably...More

Is their disabled access to the cinema and screens? My daughter is a wheelchair user and was hoping that we could get her in without the need for her to bump herself in on her bottom as she often does at many venues but is not such a dignified thing for her or for others to see her doing!

Hi I am so sorry for late reply but I believe you can access the cinema in a wheelchair. They open the fire exit but I am not certain if you can get to see all films as there are 4 screens with only one on ground floor
