great people and parking close by as is the pup afterwards or a restaurant takeaway, whatever takes…read moreyour fancy Sadly the bus service is crap if you needed it.

Before the advent of dreary out-of-town multiplexes, every high street boasted a cinema like The…read moreRegal. Most are now sad and hollowed out relics, home to carpet warehouses and luxury flats, so the Regal is a cherishable oddity - and a lovely reminder of a largely lost era. Does it have the biggest screen? The loudest sound system? The biggest buckets of pop corn? Nein. However, does it have architectural merit, charm and - above all - atmosphere. Now, admittedly, this atmosphere is generated in part by the kind of seating arrangement that predates the obesity crisis - and you might struggle for elbow room if you are bigger than, say, Danny Devito, but this kind of cheek-by-jowel feel is the perfect way to see a big summer Event Movie. We took in the last Harry Potter film here and the combination of steeply angled seating, old style uplighting and physical closeness to our fellow viewers helped to create a genuine sense of sharing the experience with other people. As mentioned, this comes at a cost: if you're a tubster, or suffer from deep-vein thrombosis, or if you are one of the people we seem to have bred of late who don't like being in proximity to other people, then you'd probably be better off seeking a dreary, out-of-town multiplex. Otherwise, to see how we kicked it back in the old skool, there probably aren't many better examples left in the country.

Easily my favourite place to eat and relax in Leicester City centre. Tucked away behind The Curve…read moretheatre this unassuming bar/cinema/cafe delivers delicious lunches and home made deserts. The centre frequently hosts interactive media projects by local Universities (always a pleasure to see) and hosts various talks and activities, including a weekly 'Stitch & Bitch'. Coming back to the food, you'll get a fresh soup of the day, and regular favourites at good, honest prices. Highly recommended.

Phoenix Arts is a small cinema, there is one screen and thus only one showing at a time. The listings vary from the newest independent releases, to regular showings of classics and cult favourites from cinema history. They sometimes also do theme days or weeks, for example around Halloween, they have regular showings of classic horror films. Ticket costs are about the same as larger, more mainstream cinemas, though they sometimes do various offers for advanced bookings. There is a very relaxed atmosphere at Phoenix Arts - no rushing, no people ruining films with chit-chat. They also operate a bar, so you can take in alcoholic drinks with you to watch the movie if you so choose. From time to time, they host lectures on certain aspects of film and multimedia presentations by local university students. There is also weekly comedy and music nights in the lounge area.

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.

Both Mrs G and I love this place. Each theater is small (even the big one only seats maybe 100 -…read morebut I haven't counted). 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. And yes it has a full bar All in all - and absolute must visit (often). Recently we enjoyed Rocket Man here - twice! And in a week or so The Irishman is coming here (again before the Odeon I believe.

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!
