“Great Saturday afternoon short play, great atmosphere. Just one problem for us, it was too warm, others probably loved it but it made us sleepy. Mild October weather to blame! Great way to pass an afternoon, followed by a dander through botanic gardens and some food.”

“Old family favourite. Love the decor. Small lobby but then again it was catering for a smaller area back when it first opened. Love the carpet and the history.”

“Great cinema. Snacks are on the spendy side but the place is clean and warm”

“I have been going to this cinema for a lot of years now and I have to say, it keeps getting better every time I come here, the popcorn is tasty, the staff are friendly and the seats are comfortable. Will definitely be back in the future”

“Had a brilliant time at enter jurassic world at Colin Glen today. Ranger Mike really sparked the kids interest at the start. My son was just so excited and love every part off it he had so much fun. The dinosaurs were amazing.”

“The matinee on Saturday of The Sound of Music in St Anne's Cathedral was amazing and so emotional. I think I teared up at most of the songs. Such talent and rich sounds and clever set changes. We had a wonderful afternoon, thank you BOC .”

“Me and my wife learned our wedding dance with Mariona. We are total amatures but Mariona managed to teach us a personalised routine and gave us the confidance to do it at out wedding and it turned out amazing. We will be sending our children to her dance classes as she is so good with with the kids in her classes. Would highly reccomend Activa Dansa”

“Spent 2 nights here and cannot complain about anything. From checking in to checkout everyone was so helpful and friendly. Lovely clean room, nice breakfast. Perfectly situated with 5 minutes walk to the shops, loads of bars and restaurants nearby. Only downside was the cost of a taxi from the Airport £49. But we got the bus back £9. Will definitely return thanks for a lovely stay.”

“The experience of odeon cinema Victoria square city centre was amazing it’s really clean cinema I ever seen. Seats are comfortable and clean. My friends and my family also like this cinema. Thank you”

“First visit here and loved the atmosphere”

“Our 3 year old is loving the Saturday drama classes. It has taught him a lot and given him so much confidence, would highly recommend any of Acting Up's classes.”

“Taken part Been in all the workshops Showing people our project Pefrome on stage”

“I like going to QFT as it is a good venue, and I have been to see several films since I signed up for membership in June. I leave my car behind & get the train to Botanic Station, which is not far away. The staff are very nice and there is a bar area where you can enjoy a snack & a hot or a cold drink or something stronger.”

“A real hidden gem, just 10 mins on the train out of Belfast. The service was brilliant, really knowledgeable without being intimidating or pushy, and instead helped us order without overdoing it. The wine selection by the glass was great, and good value too, again, great recommendations. The food is the real star of the show, we went for the lightly grilled oysters, the jambons (which really feel like one of those dishes you’ll be craving every few days after), the moreish artichokes, steak tartare Caesar salad which was great fun, skate wing and their signature crispy potatoes. The food comes out when it’s ready in a really clever order, no rushing. The Veda treacle tart was a standout for dessert, and ask for a ‘Belfast coffee’ - like an espresso martini but nicer. By no means cheap, but quality of ingredients and the vibes were brilliant. We’ll be back again!”

“Beautiful community center with tons of local programming. The cafe inside is delicious as well.”

“Went to see The Nutcracker, love going to GOH as such an elegant building. We arrived early for pre show drinks and took the opportunity to pre-order for the interval so our drinks were available at allocated spot. I thought drinks prices were reasonable for an entertainment venue (just under £28 for 4 vodka & 2 coke). The spiral staircase can be a bit dodgy when some people decide they own the space so if you’re a bit unsteady there is a lift front left as you enter, or there’s a back staircase with normal treads just past door A. The one downside to the venue is that there is no cloakroom so you will have to keep your coat with you, not an issue in summer but more problematic for a winter performance. The venue is easy to get to from the train station or city centre and there are plenty of hotels nearby if you’re staying over.”

“This was my first visit and I was very impressed! Plenty of car parking spaces and not too far of a walk to the Theatre. Lovely Bar area and very efficient friendly Bar Staff. The seats were very comfortable and quite a large stage so everyone had a great view. I didn’t notice any obstructions anywhere in the Theatre. Very friendly staff from start to finish to guide you to your seat. Top marks to all, we had a great experience!”
