What it’s like
All-recliner seating and a HYPERSENSE screen make this a proper upgrade from the standard multiplex trip.
Every seat here is a recliner, so you're not fighting your neighbour for the armrest or trying to keep a toddler upright in a hard cinema chair. There are three tiers, Saver, Comfort and Prime, and the price climbs with the legroom.
If you've got kids who are past the pram stage, the Kids Club tickets at £3.50 are the ones to look for, and they're a decent enough saving that you won't wince if someone wants popcorn twice. Matinees before 4pm are cheaper across the board than evening shows, which is handy if bedtime is still a factor in your planning.
HYPERSENSE is the one to save for last if your kids like a bit of a jolt with their film. It costs more than a standard screening, but the Crazy Tuesday HYPERSENSE prices bring it down to something more reasonable if you can only make it on a Tuesday. Parking's free at Animate next door, which takes one cost out of the equation entirely.
There's also a Silver Screen ticket at £5 and student pricing at £5.95.
