The 30 Best Cinema experience in Manchester

“Fantastic magician! Kept all the kids engaged from start to finish and was very patient with them. Highly recommend!”

“Absolutely amazing priced, lovely Cinema and although small very comfy.”

“A brilliant experience. Lovely local cinema that you can book in advance to sit with a group of your family and friends. We enjoyed a great film that was better in a group.”

“What a fabulous throw back to the glamour days of the cinema. Totally charming old school cinema. Had a sofa to watch the film on !!! Towels in the bathrooms to dry your hands ? What a fabulous place, love it.”

“I came here for Japan week to see a theatre performance and it was fantastic. HOME is a nice theatre with a cinema as well, staff are friendly inside and the theatre is small but comfortable, good view of the stage.”

“Love to support the local cinema but they haven't had much on for kids over the holidays l. Great little cinema and within walking distance so can't complain too much”

“Went last night 27/10/2024. Cinema was modern and fairly price. Seats semi-recline. Seats comftable and quality of sound and picture was very good. Screen 11 was empty with only 6 people in allowed us to have a more personal viewing. Films was smile 5/10.”

“Large venue, clean and cheaper than the odeon. Very comfortable seats and plenty of different viewing times to suit all.”

“Free parking (When you show your cinema ticket to the staff ask for parking validation. They will give you a card. Before you exit the building after your movie ends, go to the parking machine. Type in your car reg and the code, this will validate your parking) Great Cinema. Recliner seats, which are very comfortable. The staff are always welcoming and nice.”

“We celebrated our son’s 10th birthday in a private screen room at Odeon Chelmsford. The Manager and staff were very friendly and ensured that we had a good time. We really appreciate that they allowed to bring in our own party food. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the party and had great fun cheering and booing together in the movie climax. We would highly recommend a private screen hire to celebrate kids birthday.”

“Nice modern cinema based in Bolton's indoor market shopping centre. Plenty of parking in the multistory next door. We called during the day and virtually had it ho ourselves. Staff are nice and friendly. Very clean inside. Nice clean toilets. There's a bar serving alcohol and tea/coffee as well as snacks. A nice seating area for waiting before you go in.”

“Fantastic cinema experience. My mate booked online for us to watch M:I - TFR in The Lounge - at a cinema that was equidistant between where we both live (circa 40 mins each). It was well worth the extended trip. Excellent value. Food and drink are prepped and in place by your seats upon arrival. Seats are super comfy and screen was a very good size. Great cinema experience. Thank you.”

“A venue which will hopefully be successful as it transforms into a theatre. Still lot's of work to be done but the first steps are in place.”

“My Visit to the Opera House Manchester My visit to the Opera House Manchester was an unforgettable cultural experience. This historic theatre, opened in 1912, is one of Manchester’s most elegant and iconic performance venues. With its beautifully restored Edwardian architecture, plush seating, and grand interior, it offers the perfect setting for musicals, concerts, ballets, and drama performances. The atmosphere inside was vibrant and welcoming. The acoustics were excellent, and the staff were friendly and well-organized, ensuring a smooth entry and interval experience. The show I attended was brilliantly produced — a true reflection of Manchester’s rich performing arts scene. Visitor Tips: Book tickets in advance through the ATG Tickets website for the best seats. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to enjoy the lobby and grab a drink at the theatre bar. Photography is usually not allowed during shows, so plan to enjoy the performance fully. How to Reach: The Opera House is located on Quay Street, Manchester M3 3HP, near Deansgate. It’s easily accessible by tram (St. Peter’s Square or Deansgate-Castlefield stops), bus, or a 10-minute walk from Manchester Oxford Road Station. There are also several parking options nearby, including Spinningfields Car Park. A visit to the Opera House is a must for anyone who loves theatre, music, and Manchester’s timeless charm — a perfect evening of culture and entertainment.”

“Took my lad to the Sunday morning slot - really enjoyed it. Friendly staff, young girl on the till was great with my son.”

“Had the most amazing cheese and onion pie for lunch yesterday. Everyone is so welcoming, lovely music and just so friendly. Beautiful place and people.”

“Watched The Lion King at the Palace Theatre and it was absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere in the theatre itself is grand and historic, with great acoustics and comfortable seating. The performance was world-class, from the costumes and stage design to the music, everything was magical and immersive. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience felt smooth and well-organised. Truly one of those shows that stays with you long after the curtain falls. Highly recommend both the venue and the production!”

“Had a lovely stay here for a work conference. The staff were lovely,extremely helpful and the food served was good too. I asked a gentleman that worked there if he knew where my room was and he very kindly walked me to the floor I was on and directed me. Would definitely stay here again.”

“My stay at the Townhouse Hotel Manchester was truly wonderful. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. Check-in was easy and fast, and the team made sure I felt comfortable right away. The room was clean, stylish, and very spacious, with a comfortable bed and everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I especially loved the modern bathroom and the little touches that made the space feel premium and inviting. The hotel’s atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, creating a perfect balance for both leisure and business travelers. The location is another huge highlight right in the heart of Manchester, close to shops, restaurants, and public transport. Despite being in the city centre, the room was peaceful and quiet, allowing for a great night’s sleep. Overall, the Townhouse Hotel exceeded my expectations. Excellent service, beautiful rooms, and a fantastic location. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Manchester.”

“Decent cinema, clean, good amenities inside like Baskin Robbins and a Starbucks. Tickets decently priced. Snack prices are pretty typical.”

“Very nice atmosphere and large screen with plenty of comfortable sitting, the one was choose it was 4K HD screen with leather sofas, perfect place to spend some quality time. It’s inside the print works so you can either drive or walk in.”

“Lovely atmosphere and very comfortable chairs. Expensive but good quality”

“Brought my daughter here. Clean. Lift up cupholders for cuddles.”

“What a fantastic trip to Cineworld! I went to see Predator: Badlands and absolutely loved it – action-packed, gripping, and one of the best in the series! But the real highlight was the wonderful staff member Chloe who looked after me. She greeted me with the warmest, most genuine smile and a truly professional yet heartwarming welcome that made us feel so valued from the start. When she noticed I needed a bit of extra help to sit comfortably, she quietly and kindly sorted out a stool for me without any fuss – such a thoughtful touch that made the whole experience perfect. Chloe is an absolute gem and a real credit to Cineworld. The film was brilliant, but her kindness made the day even more special. Thank you, Chloe – I’ll definitely be back soon! ❤️”

“Doesn't have as many screens as didsbury and therefore doesn't show as many films as the larger venues but it's mid sized and you'll find me here most weeks using my cineworld card. Get 1 month free unlimited when you use this code RAF-10YF-56HU-41SX-65CL.”

“Very good customer service. We visited last night and it was just the two of us in the screen. A very nice member of staff came over to us and asked if we would like the heating on because he saw I was still wearing my coat. It was a very kind offer and I felt very comfortable after I’d warmed up. Nice to see a business going above and beyond. Will be returning and would recommend to others because of the quality customer service.”

“Had a fantastic time, alot of dcare actors, a great rave, dj and tease with a sexy/horror nun and Billy jigsaw. Its roughly 2km. Not wheelchair accessible. It was great value for money. Not for the faint of heart or claustrophobia. I want to thank every scare actor there!”

“love this place,good staff, value for money”

“Always worth a visit. The staff are welcoming, the drinks menu offers a great selection, and the club has a premium feel compared to others in Manchester. The dancers are professional, friendly, and respectful, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. I’ve had many memorable nights here, particularly with Rosey and Angel, who always make the experience feel extra special.”
