When talking about cinematic experiences in the North, let alone the area, one has to shout loud and proud about the IMAX. The IMAX is part of the National Media Museum but deserves it's own proud place in our ever beautiful Yelp listings. It is only one of a handful of IMAX cinemas in the world and it's ours. Go on do a little dance for me, go on. What you get is some unbelievable moments of 3D documentaries and films and also 2D is pretty hot on the massive screen. For me though you have to utilise all of its strengths so definitely check out a 3D option. Especially with the current trend of making everything for the 3D market, you'll soon be spoilt for choice. One of the last Hollywood blockbusters to show there was the last Harry Potter film but I'm more than a little giddy that Alice in Wonderland is next up. I'm so excited about that one that I may need to section myself, sedate myself or run head first into a door. Johnny Depp in 3D and at that size!?! What is not to die happy about? It does get booked up well in advance so make sure you book online or at the museum if you have a specific time in mind. This is how film should be watched, so do yourself a favour and enjoy it to the (I)max. See what I did there, aren't I clever.

The IMAX screen has to be experienced to be believed - it really is MASSIVE, and coupled with the…read morefantastic surround sound system and highly ramped seating, you are guaranteed a good view even if an extremely tall man decides to sit in the seat in front of you (don't they always!) I wouldn't actually recommend your first film is one of the IMAX specials such as to fly and dinosaurs etc as they are quite expensive and also very short (usually about half an hour to three quarters of an hour). Much better would be to see a 'proper' film in it's IMAX version - although only a small percentage of films are shot in IMAX, they really do take your breath away. The Dark Knight has some fantastic IMAX scenes, and at Christmas you really, really HAVE to watch The Polar Express at the IMAX and in 3D too! Oh yes, the IMAX is capable of 3D! It's not your average 3D too, it's actually in-your-face, amazing and quite brilliant 3D! We saw the latest Harry Potter at the IMAX, and even though only some of the scenes were in 3D, the end fight with all the magic and explosions was truly breathtaking. My only quibble would be if you are taking young children to watch a 3D IMAX film, they may be a bit overawed by it all and refuse to put on their glasses which will leave them watching them a blurred image which they'll quickly grow bored of (it happened to one of our party) - but otherwise it's a great experience! Definitely a jewel in Bradford!

I get all my picture framing done downstairs in The Gallery (which has a different feel to the upstairs) as Chris gives discount to artists. He is one of the best in the business and has a real flair for presenting your picture in the most eye-catching way and is not afraid to advise you on what will look best which I find really helpful. While I was there he was framing a football shirt and claims he can frame anything! There is some fantastic original art and prints down there too and frequent new exhibitions. It is worth a look even if you do not need any pictures framing and Saltaire has a good vibe, it is worth a visit anytime.

Drinks are cheap compared to pubs, so this is a good plus! I think its reasonably priced to hire out too so overall a good place. They tend to put on family events on bank holidays which is good.

This is a lovely little shop/ art gallery in a really convenient location. It's fairly new in the…read morearea, but seems they really know their stuff about art. Downstairs is a shop, selling handmade items, from prints to socks and gifts. The downside is the prices though, obviously it's because everything is handmade and the shop is representing the artists, but I wouldn't say everything is affordable. It's a really nice place for gifts though, where you don't mind splashing out on some expensive chocolates for someone. upstairs there's lots of hidden interesting rooms, there are gallery rooms where work is exhibited. The exhibitions change every month or so and there's often preview evenings which are good fun. There's also artist studios, where you can often have a nosey in and see the artists at work, the shop then sells these artists work so it seems it's a really nice relationship between them and the staff. It's a lovely shop, everything is so well thought out and the displays are beautiful. I think the owner/staff must spend a lot of time picking the stock and thinking about how to display it, it really is special. The items are worth the price (generally) because you know they've been made by an artist who really cares.
