Ok. For those that don't know, Quad is the big strange looking building opposite the assembly rooms…read moreand the council house in Derby Market Place. The design caused a lot of anger amongst many people in the city but largely these moaners were people who would have preferred we stuck with horse & carts and think energy saving lightbulbs are the work of Satans minions. The facilities are fantastic; two cinemas, a smaller box room for events, meeting rooms, Coors Cafe bar, a gallery, the BFI Mediatheque and probably some other stuff that I am not aware of. The Cinemas: Great film listings. If you like cinema that isn't all hollywood blockbusters with predictable stories then this is the cinema for you in Derby, especially given the reasonable price of the tickets. They have cine kids screenings, afternoon matinees which are reduced price tickets and they do their own version of Orange Wednesdays 2-4-1 tickets but this is exclusive to EVERYONE on all screenings after 5pm. Good stuff! BFI mediatheque: The only facility of it's kind outside of London. You have access to a huge archive of film from the British Film Institute and it's completely free. Book yourself in and log on. Brilliant addition which I personally would like to make time to use more often. Gallery: It's a gallery. The exhibitions change and some people like the work and others don't. That's art for you. The Coors Cafe: Ok, This should be brilliant. It's reasonably priced, they do Bass beer on draught and they sometimes have live performances. Sounds good. Well, yes, sort of. Since it opened I have repeatedly visited the cafe and on several visits I have had really bad service, from getting my food orders wrong and being charged incorrectly, to finding chunks (this isn't an exaggeration) of plastic in my food. I really want to like the Coors Cafe but each time I visit it seems like something else goes wrong. I thoroughly recommend visiting Quad though. It's a great place to spend a few hours when you have nothing to do- just be prepared for less that perfect service in the cafe.

QUAD is an excellent addition to Derby's cultural life. The cinemas are spacious and the seats are…read morevery comfortable with plenty of leg room. Tickets are reasonably priced - I usually go for the combined food and film ticket. The cafe offers a good selection of drinks and food, although I find the drinks rather expensive compared to other venues in the area. The Film and Video Archive facilities are a welcome attraction and are easy to use. If you are interested in learning about digital media and how to make the most of Adobe software, QUAD also runs various courses, which appear to be good value. They have a suite of up-to-date Apple Macs with all the bells and whistles. Free wi-fi access is available in the cafe, but you will need to ask for the access code from the reception desk. Well worth a visit.

That is, if you can get a ticket! From when I used to live near the area, it was always sold out. So, big seats for the basic seats, then even bigger and four sofas which still work out comparatively to regular cinema seats. But the food and drink are rather more upmarket ...... a china mug of coffee, or a glass of wine and some cake or nice ice-cream but all affordable unlike a regular cinema. This is truly an outing and worth it. And then there are the bathrooms - black and white tiles, with individual fresh cotton hand towels and ladies necessaries free of charge on the window sill. And nice hand cream. It is worth it just for the toilets! Staff are lovely and helpful.

Add to that the fact that you can book your seats a week or two ahead and so you always get a great seat!! They get all the big movies fresh - often beating the bigger Odeon theaters (like the one closer to us than Red Carpet. First thing that you see as you drive in towards the Red Carpet is the marina with dozens of canal boats that can be rented. On a nice sunny day - arrive early and stroll around enjoying the beauty, a little shopping perhaps? There is also a ice cream shop and two decent restaurants Talking of restaurants the Red Carpet has its own restaurant - I have posted a typical menu - there you can reserve a table for dinner before the show.

This is a really lovely independent cinema. Only 2 screens, one seats 100 people one around 80 but…read moreboth feel really intimate. They show a mixture of current, classic and independent films plus some musical theatre, opera and ballet. Really comfortable seats with plenty of leg room. Pricing is very reasonable with a pre noon price of £4.50 per adult. Only criticism of the cinema itself is the volume of the films could be slightly louder but maybe that's because the last film I saw was The Jungle Book and there was 2 unruly children in the next row! Cafe bar is nice, service is quite slow though and food average, I have only eaten here once but wouldn't rush back. I tend to order a glass of wine and take it into the cinema with me! Bliss!

The Showcase Cinema is located in the Sinfin area of Derby, near the bowling alley and pizza hut…read more The carpark is very small, but there is a larger one available opposite the cinema if the other is full. The cinema inside is very much like any other Showcase Cinema with a large foyer where you can buy tickets, food and drinks, etc. As per any other cinema, the food and drinks are expensive and you aren't allowed to bring your own snacks. The cinema tickets are around £6 each, but with student discount you can get them for about £5. The main disadvantage of the cinema is that it is a long journey out of town and now that the Westfields Centre has opened, I do see this branch getting less popular.

The theaters are all pretty small - but comfortable, high quality projection and great sound. Ideally located next door to a Costa for your coffee and a Prezzo if you want to eat before or after.

For me as a Brit just returning to the good old Mother country I am amazed by the "unlimited" deal - 18 pounds - well 17.99 for unlimited movies for a month - what a deal!!!!!

The ticket kiosks are on the right of the door next to the video games... very easily missed. Besides your usual popcorn and sweets, they also have a Baskin Robbins where you can get ice cream and sundaes. There are some tables in the lobby area if you are a bit early... although it is next to a number of restaurants if you do want a bite to eat before or after your film. During peak times it can be difficult to get in and out of the leisure park and sometimes difficult to find parking. However, it is convenient and saves us from having to drive further to find a cinema.

The Cineworld cinema in Burton is situated in a large complex off Guild Street, that also includes…read moreMecca Bingo and Frankie and Bennys, amongst others. The large car park requires you to take a ticket and then pay as you leave at the pay booths; the price skyrocketing to £5 after two hours! However,the cinema gives you a ticket that gives you four free hours or if you go in the evening, the car park is free. The cinema itself has an impressive glass fronted opening into a foyer area, with a wall a televisions showing film previews and music videos. There is also an entertainment area and machine where you can pay for and collect your prepaid cinema tickets. This cinema is always busy, especially at night and absolutely packed on 'Orange Wednesdays'! Prices are a little on the expensive side, but the screens themselves are air conditioned, spacious and have very comfortable seats. The Deluxe cinema with slightly more expensive tickets even has a small bar! As usual as in any cinema, the refreshments - popcorn, hot dogs, soft drinks etc. are ridiculously expensive, the advantage of a captive audience! Overall great for watching the local blockbusters, but a little on the pricey side

Also the staff will be there to help you out if there is somebody in there ruining the film. Once there were some kids throwing things around so we went to get a member of staff who stood in the room watching the kids so they wouldn't do it again. It is very well air conditioned though so make sure you take a jacket!
