Really enjoyed this place. Came the week before corona-lockdown so at the time it was very empty. But the employees were really fun and helpful. While this is a great small cinema, Light House has a whole lot more to offer than just great films. It has a lovely little cafe with good food and drinks and a pleasant gallery space worth doing at least a quick walkthrough. One of my favorite parts was the fact that the assortment of refreshments they had to offer and not only that, but they were really affordable. You don't have to pay an arm and a leg to be able to have a drink or snack while you watch a film. Can't wait to be able to visit this place again because it has an atmosphere that most major cinemas can't even begin to compete with. read more

The Light House is a great place for meeting. It has an independent cinema, gallery space and cafe. They have a range of differing events taking place so it's always good to see what's on. It's a regular meeting place for Cafe Psychologique and you always feel welcome when you go. It's an interesting space as it's in the former Chubb Building so you can see some of Wolverhampton's industrial history. The cafe provides a range of drinks and snacks. It's also close to the train station so you don't have to walk far! read more

Light House Cinema & Gallery - Take your own vinyl - Cinema Near Me - Wolverhampton, WLV

Love this place. Great cinema - large screens but small rooms with a great living room atmosphere. I've occasionally been one of only a handful of people in a screening - great for me (though I'm sure not so great financially for the place....). Lovely to be able to take in tea, coffee, wine and beer and so on into the screenings. Cafe also serves some lovely cakes! Shows everything from blockbusters to independent and foreign movies. As a university student I would visit Lighthouse once, sometimes twice each week and saw just a great variety of films. The affordable prices mean you can take a chance on something arthouse or foreign language if you're the type of person that would normally go and watch blockbusters. I'm a big fan of world cinema, so I've been treated to some amazing films at this place that I couldn't catch anywhere else in Wolverhampton. All in all a fantastic place that deserves to be packed at every screening. read more

The gallery and the cinema is a really nice play to go too. right by the wolverhampton bus stop and train station and just outside of the town centre, I have popped in a few times. the cinema give you the posters if you ask for them and all the staff are very friendly. it is a really nice place to go to, a very old style but nice cinema to go to, they do show a few amamie films that my friends like and they have always told me it is a really nice place i must visit and it is cosy. read more

The Lighthouse is great. Right in the centre of the town, with its own courtyard and cafe. The two screens feel like you're sitting in someone's private screen they're so cosy. They have proper cinema chairs too! The ticket prices are really good for such a small cinema, and they also run events and courses throughout the year. On a Friday night they also have Lightbar here, a semi cool indie club night in the cobbled courtyard. Definitely worth a look, especially because it's so cheap! read more

The Light House Cinema and Gallery is a refreshing alternative to the mainstream chain cinemas that've got no soul. Showing a carefully selected choice of movies, and running for limited periods of time, this cinema feels that little bit special. Housed in the historic Chubb Buildings, the Light House is not only a cinema, but an art gallery and media centre. It also has a neat little coffee shop/cafe, Lock Works, to get snacks for the movies, or a more substantial dish, veggie/non veggie. Seating spills out into the amazingly huge courtyard at the centre of the Chubb Buildings, and media conventions/networking drinks regularly take place here. Just a 20 min train ride from Birmingham New Street, it's well worth the effort to go and catch a movie/animation short/ festival showcases/art exhibition if you are at all creatively minded. An inspiring creative hub in the heart of the Midlands. Cinema tix before 5pm £4 / 4.90 afterwards. Other concessions mid week. Gallery: free entry. Check out website for programme of events! read more

At one point during the 90's this was THE place to be. Unfortunately as the city grew so did the undesirables who went there. It quickly went from being a nice tidy club, to being seedy and unclean read more

Love the lighthouse. I wish it was supported more by the people of Wolverhampton. Always show interesting alternative movies. Nice coffee etc too and art gallery read more

Cinema experiences at their best, no annoying chavs throwing popcorn, just a relatively intimate environment with nice seats and a friendly atmosphere. read more

Great Place to drop in and check out the Gallery. Always something there to lift an eyebrow and ponder. Regular Music if you dont mind peering behind a concrete column, but get in aerly and grab a seat. Standing through a concert balancing a glass is an endurance, but worth the effort. Good thoughtful movies next door and friendly bars with local acts and guitars each week. Great atmosphere but watch your intake, the cobblestone surface may make you think you had more than your eight. Has media training for those arty types getting to grips with proffessional cameras. read more

Light House is housed in an old Chubb building and is a stones throw from Wolverhampton train station and Piper's Row bus station. The cafe is one of the few places in the city centre that has free wi-fi for customers to use and also does a nice selection of drinks and snacky foods. There is even a place to exchange 'bookcrossing' books which amused me. The cinema has 2 screens and often has themed nights such as Valentines and Halloween. They show a good selection of mainstream, foreign and independent films and is definitely good for catching things a few weeks after they've been out at the main cinema. The art space is small but has a good selection of shows on. They also run events like the National Deaf film festival, animation festivals and there are opportunities to take short courses in film making or animation. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. There isn't much for sale in terms of snacks so if you want popcorn with your film you'll have to bring your own. Over all, a very unpretentious place and one of Wolverhampton hidden gems. I feel it is probably very underused in the city. I'd much rather give them my cash than to chain multiplexes. read more

The cinema is a really positive experience at the Light House. They will show movies that your typical cinema won't show and everyone is quiet and friendly, a far cry from a lot of other venues around the Wolverhampton area! The decor is tasteful and I find it to be an overall pleasant evening out. Prices are a little bit too much than I would like to pay, but it is a charity afterall so they've got to make money back somehow. read more

Great cinema with nice comfy chairs, reasonably big screens considering the size of the place and good staff. Different choice of refreshments to other cinemas too which is nice and there's a proper bar and you can take your alcohol in to the cinema with you. Limited selection of films obviously as there's only 3 screens but you can see stuff here that you can't see anywhere else. read more

always busy, lots of students around! the cinema used to be very busy but not so much anymore but the setting is fantastic.

This is a great little place with plenty of charm - what little culture that goes on in Wolverhampton seems to goes on here! They have all sorts of exhibitions and talks with interesting people from around the world, media production classes, indie films on at night and a nice little cafe with reasonable priced drinks and home cooked food. Way better then the art gallery. read more

The only cinema that's actually in Wolverhampton (not on a motorway miles away) and shows decent films. The Lighthouse is an independent cinema, gallery and media centre inside the old Chubb buildings. It shows mainly indie films as well as some more leftfield blockbustes a few weeks after main release. The tickets are very reasonable and there's a nice bar inside to have drinks or a snack before or after the film. read more

Good cinema to go to. They have recently released showings, along with some interesting speciality films. Downstairs is much better than upstairs. Usually quiet, unless a really popular film is on. Quite a bit cheaper than other cinemas in Wolverhampton area, and an excellent coffee bar/bar while you wait. read more
