They've changed to Baskin Robbins ice-cream range now which is a shame as Ben and Jerry's was much nicer. You can get a cineworld card for £16.40 a month which if you go twice a month on weeknights or a weekend would be worth it. Costs nearly a tenner for an adult ticket otherwise. Comfy cinema seats and clean toilets. Parking is free but hard to find at busier times. It's also easy to get here by bus or tram with the stops a couple of minutes away. There's also a tesco close by which could be handy. Plus the usual Nandos, Bella Italia etc chain restaurants and a bowling alley with lots of video games. Also a casino where you can get a 2 course meal and a cinema ticket for £12.95 on a Sunday or Thursday night. I done this and it was pretty good, although you have to bring a passport to join up with the casino.

A very large cinema in Manchester city centre, this cinema was previously operated by ODEON, until…read morethey were forced to sell the cinema to rivals, VUE, who now operate the cinema. This location is HUGE - 23 screens, 4,723 seats, and one of the largest IMAX screens in Europe, The cinema is over multiple floors, and the layout can be a little confusing, the staff seem friendly enough and on guard to help. If you require lift access, you will require a staff member to help you with this as they are NOT customer operated. Escalators are available without the help of a staff member. There are lots of screens to pick up and purchase tickets, and there is normally at least one person on the manned desks if you want to use as little technology as possible to get your tickets. There are often cheaper screenings, costing around £4.99 per person, so it is reasonable and affordable, combined with the many offers available from many third-party companies including banks and insurance companies, who offer discounted cinema tickets. Snacks are expensive, but what cinema doesn't charge an arm and a leg for the slightest bite to eat? Not much has changed since the ODEON days, the main difference is the branding around the cinema, some parts could do with a refurb but still a nice, large cinema in a great central city location. 4*

Seats are very reasonably priced at £7.50 or £9.00 for luxury. If you opt for luxury there are both 2 seater sofas and bigger cinema seat options, so you might want to check what you are getting. I love the little tables and that there's a bar where you can stock up on wine before the feature presentation. Sound quality seemed v good to me and although we sat right at the back, I wasn't bothered by the distance from the screen. Also, the toilets were super delightful, my friend was genuinely keen for me to go visit them to check the nice environment out! They have a good selection of releases, I would prefer to see slightly more indie in the mix but frankly whatever keeps this place upon as it's a total gem.

The Savoy Cinema has been recently refurbished, by a small company who have restored a couple of…read moreother little cinemas like The Ritz cinema in Belper, and has reopened recently on Heaton Moor Road. The foyer area of the cinema is very nice, with a little counter at the front where you can buy tickets and drinks and snacks. The Savoy will let you pre-book your cinema tickets, much like any of the large multiplex chains, but with a slight twist. You can reserve your tickets at any point, but you don't actually collect and pay for them until the movie showing. This can result in a bit of a queue, so if it's a popular movie you should arrive in plenty of time. The range of drinks and snacks is pretty good; they have everything from soda to beer and wine, as well as the usual popcorn and Ben & Jerry's ice cream tubs. The prices are also very reasonable. When I visited there were three of us there to watch the new Star Wars movie (no spoilers, I promise!), and in all the three Standard seats with a pint and a soda was £27. The seats themselves, for "Standard" seating, were pretty damn comfortable! Usually in a multiplex it's a bit hit-and-miss whether I get a comfy seat with enough leg room to accommodate me as I'm not exactly short. The Savoy seats were great, and I had plenty of space to stretch out without hitting the seat in front which was great. The drinks holders are also stylish and large enough to handle any drink you throw at them. There's only one screen at the moment, though I think they're adding a second smaller one at some point (though I could be wrong). That said, the screen is plenty big enough and the projection was spot on. If you're going to be a regular visitor to The Savoy, they have a membership scheme which is £20 per person per year but this gets you two free tickets to see any movie* in any seating class so you can use them for the premium seats. Membership also gets you ongoing discount on regular ticket prices as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to The Savoy and I can see myself making regular visits in the future. Would definitely recommend!! (* some exceptions may apply!)

The staff are equipped with a knowledge of film and an enthusiasm for the art of cinema. I grab a couch, remove my footwear and use the cushions to get comfy. An alcohol-free G&T is discretely served to my seat-side table. Films are often personally announced just ahead of the Kaplinsky certificate and after the trailers. In Screen 1 the curtain draws and renounces and the lights go up, just at this moment, like the old days. My membership gets me a free supper for Throwback on Sundays (modern classics) and the lounge areas between the screens are worthy of experiencing for dining even if you're not up for a movie. Classic Modernist furnishings align to the Bauhaus movement / The International Style and serve to complement the building's architecture and history. Clean lines. Stylised neon. Decadent minimalism. Quality to detail. Lush textures. Red lights and mirrors. A relaxing atmosphere with wifi. There's a content partnership with AppleTV+ so you get exclusives, simultaneous releases and even opportunities to watch the pilot episode of a new small-screen series right here on the big one. The staff are professional, laid back and expedient. They have the sophistry to serve you when you require serving or leave you be if you want that. Jack stands out for his other-level Customer Service delivery which ALWAYS belies a genuine commitment to making your experience the very best. And I've worked in New York, New York so I know what first rate CS looks and feels like. There's a smart park with benches out back (there are two entrance/exits). St John's square is like Soho Square in the West End, London innterms of size and feel. I often sit there watching the footy on my phone or reading if I arrive early. It's peaceful and smart at this end of town. The Everyman smartphone app is the clincher. Book your seat, save to apple wallet, add to calendar for a reminder and often, as you leave the venue, it connects through to Apple Music and plays you the theme tune to what you just watched as you leave the building right into your airpods. Not bad! Check it out but don't tell everyone.

The rest of ther ladies had the afternoon tea which despite me feeling full regretted my decision! The quality of the sandwiches , scones and cakes were immense and service was attentive.

Seeing the Grade II* Listed building lit up at night added to its grandeur, it's literally the first thing you can see all the way up Wellington Road. Heading there for the Banff Mountain Film Festival (http://www.banff-uk.com/) as it was touring the UK and Ireland before heading on across the world, it proved to be a truly gorgeous setting for around 1,200 people to sit back and watch three hours-worth of extreme sports movies. I doff my cap to the restorers of this place - with the neon lighting juxtaposed against the 1930s interior. This is a jaw-dropping place to spend an evening, a million miles away from the typical out-of-town multiplexes. Tip: the box office is accessed from the street through a door to the far left of the front of the theatre. Tip: the small tubs of vanilla ice-cream sold during the interval are superb.

Parrs Wood Entertainment Centre is located on Wilmslow Road in East Didsbury and consists of a…read moreCineworld cinema, as with any Cineworld it has an overpriced, small franchise Starbucks and a few other eateries including big brand names Nando's, Wagamama, Bella Italia and Pizza Hut. It is pretty easy to get to, even though it isn't central to anything really with a tram stop "East Didsbury" across the way and a Tesco close by. Unlike most similar centres, I was surprised there weren't many big-name quick-fast food restaurants including the likes of Subway, McDonald's and KFC which would have been handy, but the construction of this place isn't that great anyway as it is quite a good walk from the car park to the complex where the cinema and eateries are. Parrs Wood is summed up by "Meh, I've experienced better", it isn't new anymore as it was built as I recall in around 2011/2012 and is now so generic, lacking innovation and anything which makes this stand out from the crowd. 2*

There were only a few other people in the cinema at the same time as us and it was easy to find a seat! It can apparently seat 280 people. Generally it is not necessary to pre-book. It is a simple cinema, with fairly basic seating. None of the luxuries we take for granted in modern cinemas, but it was nevertheless a comfortable experience. Tickets are the old fashioned sugar paper tear off type of affair, and there is a basic, but fairly reasonably priced shop to purchase the compulsory sweet snacks! It doesn't get overly dark while the film is showing and therefore could be a great place for a child's first cinema experience. It was like stepping back in time, but well worth the experience. Mondays are cheap days and tickets are only £3.00! Parking is close by and convenient. There is a lift for disabled access and suitable toilets are provided too.

Marple's Regent cinema is like stepping back into a gentler time. It's a cliche, but it's like GOING TO THE MOVIES. There are 2 types of seating available. The stands and the circle (£4 and £5 respectively per person at the time this review was written). The stands are on the ground floor at the front of the cinema nearest the screen. The circle is elevated about 20 feet above and set back slightly. The circle has those huuuge comfy armchair-style red velvet seats that you USED to get in cinemas. Seats you can sink into. Seats that don't fold up when you stand up. Seats where the legroom is such that you can't reach the seats in front with your legs stretched. Red velvety thrones, then. Halfway through the film (True Grit) there was an INTERVAL! I thought intervals died out with the Dodo, but no, there it was. A lady with a torch and a pointy hat came out with a tray around her neck. On the tray were Ice Creams. Cornettos, Magnums, Fabs and the like. How much did they cost? Just ONE POUND. Not £4.30 or £3. Just a quid. One tiny nicker. Brilliant. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about an interval (it was only about 3 minutes long), but I did not mind, as it did not detract from the flow of the movie at all. I had time to go to the lobby and buy a diet (hey I'm watching my weight) coke.... how much? EIGHTY PENCE. Not £3 or £2.76 etc. etc. There's only one screen at this cinema. Which is more than enough. I'd never been there before, but I will be going back. Repeatedly. The atmosphere was fantasmic, the equipment was bang up to date (screen and audio quality superb), and after the cinema I left wihout feeling I had been completely ripped off. (Ticket plus drink plus ice cream plus big bag of Revels - 9 quid) Cinemas like this are unfortunately harder and harder to find, sadly. I am glad I found this one though. And you know what.... it was packed. With nice people.... no mobile phones going off.. no popcorn hitting the back of my head.... just a bunch of people who I think love the fact that their secret cinema hasn't been found by TOO many people yet. Search for The Regent Cinema on google and you'll find it... although part of me hopes that you won't.... I want it all to myself. :)
