This is a pretty bog standard multiplex, though be warned, it's located in a fairly chavy area…read morewhich has two implications: a) you may find yourself having to ask your fellow patrons to stop talking/not answer their phones during the film (believe it or not, the second exchange actually happened to me a few months back); and the selection of films on offer rarely threatens to excite the judges at Cannes. However, I go on an all too regular basis due to one fact: they run an 'Unlimited' scheme where you pay £13.50 a month which allows you to go as often as you want. This is very much a double-edged sword, as I often drag myself to see something I don't really fancy and get a pleasant surprise (Coco Before Chanel), but I also regularly convince myself to give something a go and it turns out to be utter shit (The Time Traveller's Wife). Still it's a bargain either way, though if you're not prepared for that kind of commitment, you may wish to know that Tuesday offers reduced entry all day, and Wednesday is, of course, an Orange affair.

You won't find anything alternative or off what would be widely regarded as mainstream. This one in Hengrove is particularly dodgy as firstly and foremost, it is in Hengrove and therefore frequented by local chavs who seem to go to the cinema purely to see how annoying they can be. And secondly, this one is in need of a makeover. I'm not entirely sure how long it has been here, but some of the screening rooms have dodgy sound and thread bare seats. If you can watch the film you want to see someplace else, then by all means do.

It sells popcorn and sweets in the foyer and then the two cinema rooms are both of an ok size with comfy chairs. This place closed down for a while a few years back and it was a real disappointment so I was really glad when it reopened. I can't understand why people travel to the big multiplexes to watch films when this is on their doorstep! It is a real asset to Burnham and long may it continue.

I went with 2 of my 6 foot plus children and they both commented on how lovely it was to have good leg room.

I cannot recommend it highly enough

The Prospect Theatre is a stunning new performance space which…read more comes fully equipped to handle most performances, from concerts through to full scale musicals. The auditorium has been designed to promote exceptional acoustic qualities and has a high degree of flexibility in terms of layout through the removal of seating. Seats can be taken away to create an Orchestra Pit or even to extend the stage and create an extended apron or partial thrust. Far from being exclusively a theatre for performances, the space also offers versatile conference and lecturing facilities, with the ability to close off the stage behind sound proof doors. A cinema standard projector and screen enable presentations and films to be shown with the benefit of the sound system without impacting on other events you may choose to run on stage. The Prospect Theatre is set at the heart of our facilities at the end of the striking atrium and adjacent to the restaurant, all facilities which can be made available as a part of your package. The space itself is served with two green rooms, both of which have the ability to screen the stage action on the wall and playback live sound from the stage to ensure your company don't miss a thing, or their cue! The stage and space come fully equipped with the latest industry standard items with full details and our tech rider available. To assist your design team as much as possible.

Frome is very lucky to have it's own local cinema, when many comparative-sized towns for miles…read morearound do not have that luxury. The small and rather old-fashioned Westway Cinema stands in the same street as (now demolished) The Gaumont, the main cinema from the sixties era in this town. The films are usually pretty much up to the minute - even if not quite as fast as the bigger towns - well, we have a quieter pace of life around here! As for facilities, it's situated built into the Westway shopping precinct and just a few footsteps away from the central car park. There's showings every day, often twice a day, and as mentioned the titles are always popular, recently released films. Up the steep stairs (ask in advance about wheelchair access) there is a small foyer with ticket sales, sweet and soft drink sales - and a small bar. Yes, here you can sip a pint or two as you watch the action unfold on the screen. In homage to the olden days of cinema a small ice-cream kiosk opens between the adverts and the main feature for last-minute stock-up of drinks and nibbles. With concessions for children and OAPs and a perfectly pleasant and comfortable setting, this saves a small fortune (especially for families) on travelling to the more pricey cinemas in Bath. Well worth supporting your local cinema!

This Vue for some reason has completely abandoned their ticket office and you have to buy tickets from the ice cream stall which, if someone actually wants ice cream, means that it can take forever to get through the queue. Tickets are quite expensive and a bag of Minstrels will set you back over £3! They also have a band of leather seats across the upper middle of the screening rooms which you have to pay extra for - I come here maybe once a week and I have NEVER seen anyone sat in these seats - why do they bother? The staff have even stopped trying to push the 'luxury' seating on to us as we buy tickets so they can't be impressed either. Sadly when they do a special screening (this week was American Werewolf in London - fantastic) it goes down like a lead balloon (5 people in that showing) so they don't do it very often. Does what it does good enough.

I get the feeling these things come in flat packs, complete with popcorn machine, questionable…read morecarpets, and no character whatsoever. With that said, it's actually pretty good. They've got plenty on offer, I counted 12 films showing last time I went. The showings run late as well, with films starting at midnight. It's obviously a bit of a trek getting out to Cribbs Causeway. Probably not worth the hassle unless you've got a car given Bristol's got the Showcase and Odeon in town. There's plenty of free parking. Popcorn is horrifically over priced, as you would expect. You can also buy Ben and Jerries ice cream, which is pretty cool. At £6.65 for an evening showing it's not that cheap but not too bad. The cinemas themselves are really good. Big comfy seats and big screens. It's usually fairly empty as well, you'll probably have a couple of rows to yourself. Don't get taken in by the 'VIP' seats. They do some films in 3D, which is pretty cool. However, I'm yet to see anything I like being shown in 3D. Vue is a souless multiplex but a fairly good one.

Menaing the cinema will then have 3/4 3D screens. With 2 different 3D systems - Xpand Digital 3D, and a 35mm 3D system (probably Technicolour).
