Love this beautiful old cinema and its eclectic line-up of international films. Slightly outdone by baby sister Dukes@Komedia for location and facilities, but still a pleasure every time.Upvote3Downvote
A fab venue run by passionate cinephiles, which sadly could do with a refurbished sound system. Loads of rattle and hum bass to pair with your crackle and pop celluloid. ANALOGUE POWER! ✊🎬Upvote3Downvote
It is a lovely place for a movie...love the fact that it has an old fashion atmosphere!Upvote1Downvote- The Kid’s Club Saturday matinee usually sells out. Book online to save a seat (and queuing!)
UpvoteDownvote - Balcony seats are better for the taller person! If you're 5'8 or below, you may find yourself sitting forward on the sofa (rather than slumping comfortably) so you can see the bottom of the screen!UpvoteDownvote
Joanna SuchomskaDecember 23, 2014One of the oldest movie theaters in England, real oldschool! They also do drinks and snacks and play classical music while waiting for the projection.UpvoteDownvote
Neveah FSSeptember 12, 2010Classic indie picture house with a great pair of legs (nicked from Oxford). Regular specials like live opera, noisy children welcome showings and late night cult classics. Good posh snacks and a bar.Upvote1Downvote

Henry RyderApril 9, 2010Kids club on Saturday morning. Adults with child go free, and you get to enjoy the glamour of a proper old fashioned cinema, full of lively youngsters.Upvote1Downvote- Neveah FSSeptember 12, 2010Also shows 'It's a Wonderful Life' each Christmas. Just a lovely cinema, properly eccentric - long may it reign.UpvoteDownvote

"premier seats must be added for a special night out. It also seemed to have become a self service cinema, barely anybody from cine world working there. Parking is free which is a huge bonus 👍 7/10"
