There are only 6 screens, so make sure that the film you want to watch is actually available before making a journey and ticket prices are reasonable - certainly cheaper than it's competitors. The bar, however, is pretty expensive and you'll need a second mortgage for a pick 'n' mix and popcorn but this seems to be pretty standard across all cinemas though. The main benefit is that it is rarely that busy, particularly during the week, which means that the chances of being able to watch a film without someone drowning out any dialogue are pretty good.

Actually I say the middle of nowhere, that's just what it felt like during the 20 minute drive in the dark - it's actually on the edge of Ellesmere Port, but that's hardly a hub of civilisation in itself. It's the typical retail park scenario, you know the kind of thing - windy roads, lots of roundabouts, a steady breeze sweeping the tumbleweeds past as you're dazzled by the neon glow from Burger King, Nandos, Pizza Hut, Frankie & Benny's, Bella Italia, and the other usual suspects. The cinema experience itself was just like any other Vue, I just hate this universal trend towards corporate blandness that insists on building these huge conglomerate retail parks in the middle of nowhere.

It's annoying to get to without a car as the buses can be quite bad and sometimes don't show up at all. If you can get there then it is a far better venue than any cinema nearer to the city. With a large number of screens there are a lot of films on offer at any one time. In fact last time we visited, my wife ended up watching a different film to me, and this worked out great with only a 20 minute wait for one of us. The food is obviously a massive rip off, but that is true of every cinema these days. Luckily the rest of the retail park offers a range of restaurants to suit al tastes so it is worth eating before or after the film rather than spending a similar amount on a drink and some ice cream.

It's never cold in the winter or over hot in the summer like some cinemas. The smaller screening room is tiny with those smaller standard cinemas seats that seem to be too close to the seats infront. It's definitely cosy in there. The sound system in this smaller room isn't great, it's a bit tinny. They only allow you to consume food purchased at the cinema and it's severely over priced. 2 drinks, 2 bags of sweets cost me the same as two adult tickets.

Ticket prices are reasonable, I wouldn't say the refreshments are expensive I got popcorn, sweets and a soft drink for about £3 which I don't think is too bad.

I'm talking the 1941 adaptation of the novel starring Humphrey Bogart. All for a fiver. That's right, £5. I'm guessing it's one. The Woolton Picture House on Mason Street. This cinema, unlike many others, actually opened its doors before the Maltese Falcon hit screens. 26 December 1927, to be exact. I can imagine the excitement now - the stars of the big screen coming to this homely part of south Liverpool. People will have travelled, walked in most cases, from miles around to see films here. My Nan was one of them. Sorry Nan, showing your age! Despite its slightly decrepit outer appearance, it hasn't lost any of the magic. How many modern cinemas have intervals where they come round with affordable ice creams/lollies? No idea, I must confess. But I do know they do here. All part of the experience. I remember watching Nowhere Boy, the film about John Lennon, in the picture house, and one of the scenes was actually set in the very same pictures! Deservedly so, for I'm sure this theatre has touched many lives. A real treat.

Back in those days it was called the Prince of Wales but other than that not much has changed. It's a nice if slightly small place. It seems to have suffered in recent years following the opening of the North Wales Theatre five miles down the coast in Llandudno but still attracts the odd name or half decent play. It also now doubles as a cinema to keep the money coming in. Hopefully Theatr Colwyn will be around for years to come.

It certainly beat staying in my hotel room. I got there a little early and ordered a glass of wine at the bar, which also has beer, whiskey, and the like. They have popcorn available in both sweet and salty (or mixed, if you're like me). There were some locals there having a drink as well, and it was great! The theatre is all painted in murals, with fun old-fashioned seats and a very good visual and sound systems -- super up-to-date -- and I was able to take my wine and popcorn with me into the theatre to enjoy during the movie. They even have a couch, if you prefer to lounge. Everything was clean and well-taken-care-of, and the prices were amazing. Entry was only £5 (£6 for the balcony). I come from the US, where popcorn is $8, so being able to get a nice glass of wine and a good-sized box of popcorn for £7 was great. All in all, this is a fun night out in an unexpected and quirky place, and I'd even suggest it for families, as it's inexpensive enough to take everyone, and super fun.

The cinema itself is very modern, with 8 screens using the latest film technology, and the seats are comfortable and spacious. There is wheelchair access and seats in the front row that are suitable for the disabled. Inside the cinema there's an ice-cream stall, a popcorn counter in the middle of the foyer, a hot dog counter and a Pick 'n' Mix style sweet shop. Of course, these prices are all extortionate and whilst it costs £6.60 for an adult ticket to see the film, it costs almost as much for a tub of popcorn. Outside the cinema, which is located in a leisure park on the outskirts of Llandudno Junction, there's a McDonalds, a KFC, a Pizza Hut, a Frankie & Benny's and several other eateries. The price to see the film is actually quite reasonable, I believe, but the extras let the whole experience down.
