The website wasn't showing films after 30th Jan and so on Saturday I went in to see what's on Friday. They couldn't tell me as the brochure was not printed and said I should phone today. I've phoned dozens of times, but the line is busy... why don't they have online booking! Very very frustrating 🤔

Our first visit and definitely not going to be our last!
Comfortable seats, perfect size, cupholders/snack shelf, leg room, easy viewing position, even for a 5 year old!
Cakes are amazing, good range of affordable snacks and drinks.
The toilets are absolutely pristine!
An excellent place to visit, won't be going back to chain cinemas!

Forget Cineworld and all that garbage. This is the place. Brilliant atmosphere, exceptionally comfortable, superbly priced. To sit and watch a film away from home with a gin and tonic, glass of wine and a piece of home made cake in such comfort was mind blowing. It's just like a private club. Our first visit certainly not the last.

Lovely atmosphere, comfy seats could not fault.
I used to come here as a teenager to view the Saturday matinée shows.
Cinema has been refurbished to a high standard and although smaller it has retained a lovely atmosphere.
The Staff were excellent.

One of the very best ways to see a film - new or classic - is the Ritz Cinema in Belper.
Confortable seats, Good screen, excellent sound. Lovely refreshments you can take in to the auditorium. Friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely cinema - small, immaculate with friendly and helpful staff. Good, clear viewing and decent, comfortable seating - luxury seats, sofas or standard seats - which are still large and comfortable. Plus you can buy a glass of wine or a coffee/tea to enjoy whilst watching the movie. Great venue to visit.

Such a cosy cinema. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Our booking had been lost but staff compensated by moving us to luxury seats. All the seating is comfortable and facilities are well maintained. Good variety of hot/cold/alcoholic drinks plus a selection of snacks.

Brilliant little cinema, love this place, great staff, service and atmosphere. I can highly recommend their pizza movie nights. 3 different kinds of seating from starting with standard, then luxury and they also have 4x two seater sofa's (although the sofa's could do with updating now)

Great venue, but sadly runied by the booking system.
Members can prebook without payment or deposit, this results in bookings being taken, so on paper it's full.
Then the prebookers don't turn up, it's half empty but you can't book prior if not a member.
As it's lottery and charity funded they don't care if it makes a loss, so often near empty but booked out.
Such a shame, just make it pay at booking and it's fair for all

Am I required to call to make a seating reservation, or can I simply walk in and buy them?
Written July 23, 2019
Hi yes you can walk in but they get busy so it's best to book
Written July 24, 2019
No, we weren't members and bought our tickets an hour before the show started then went for a drink.
the movie had Been showing a while so demand may not have been so high, as i know it can be hard to get In at times hence the membership.
