I have been to Pictureville cinema a few times now and every time has been great. The staff are welcoming, the chairs are comfortable. The red curtains are iconic and it has a great atmosphere compared to a regular cinema. The ticket prices are reasonable and well worth a visit! There is parking close by, we paid £3 for 2 hours. Overall, highly recommend Pictureville.
Absolutely my favourite cinema! Excellent projection and sound. Easy to book specific seats online or in person and very good prices. Great seats - always a good audience and atmosphere too. Comfy bar with hot and cold drinks and snacks. Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful staff. Clean and tidy throughout. Plus it's the world's only Cinerama screen! World class events often hosted here.
Pictureville is one of my favourite cinemas, great screen and always present films properly. Always a pleasure to watch a film here.
Excellent for new and classic films, their museum and everything child friendly
Well the film was very good. Theatre is clean and sound is fantastic. Not too expensive.
