Compact 6-screen multiplex cinema with a food counter, located in the Kingsmead shopping centre, in…read morethe centre of Farnborough. Access is via the shopping centre, which, with an increasing number of eateries, is beginning to develop into more of an evening destination. Opened in 2015, it has state of the art projection and sound equipment, and concentrates on the recently released mainstream films, though live streaming of theatre and opera is also occasionally offered. The cinema itself has a lobby with a long single counter, serving both the cinema tickets and snacks - mostly drinks and popcorn. There are automated ticket machines for pre-booked tickets. The individual theatres vary considerably in size, but all offer wheelchair access, and have premium reclining seats as an option for an extra charge. Otherwise, the big draw is the price - at £4.99 a ticket, it's one of the cheapest cinema experiences around. There's plentiful parking nearby in the Kingsmead car park, alongside local bus stops.

I definitely agree with Vanessa A.'s review, regarding the fact that the majority of patrons are girls. My friend and I were the only two guys at this place. We hung out with five girls that night (all friends of my friend's friend), and had a pretty good time chatting, and drinking pints of Guinness stout beer and Strongbow cider. Although there was not that much people since we came on a Sunday night, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the camaraderie. This place has a fairly decent pool table. I played a couple of games with the girls my friend knew and also had a good time shooting around the balls. When I think of this place, I think red for some reason, mainly because the red walls. The benches I sat on were not too comfortable, though, the cushions were kind of firm. Despite that, I still had a good time hanging out with my friend and the girls. Overall, this is another decent pub that I had a pretty good time drinking and hanging out with friends and another one of the pubs that made my trip to Brighton memorable.

The Duke of York's is something of an institution. Now owned by City Screen, this independent-style…read morecinema specialises in cult, indie and foreign-language films, as well as re-runs of the odd classic. Opened in 1910, it's one of the first commercial cinemas to still be in operation, and the interior - complete with balcony - is largely unaltered. The main auditorium is decorated in warm, cosy colours, although it suffered during the late 1970s as a venue for early punk rock concerts. Happily, it has now been restored to its former glory. You can tell it's going to be different from the facade - which has a pair of legs sticking out, Folies-Bergeres style, from the top left of the facade. For a start, the auditorium is licenced, so you can takes alcoholic drinks with you to consume during the film. And the choice of films is definitely not mainstream (venues showing foreign-language films are a dying breed, these days). On Saturday mornings there's a Kids club, with activities and a children's film (though presumably they don't take advantage of the alcohol licence...) and they can organise children's birthday parties too. At the other extreme of the age range, on Tuesdays the over-60s can see an early-afternoon film for just £3.50, and receive complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits! It's a membership venue as well (although it is not a requirement to see a film). Members can attend all sorts of specials events, screenings and receive discounts for their £28 a year (2008 prices). The cinema has a pleasant cafe-bar, open during the day, with a balcony for nice weather (although the din of Preston Circus road junction may not be quite so nice) and wi-fi (free to customers). The cinema has limited accessibility for those with a mobility impairment - full details are on its web-site.

Gone are the XXL cups of coke that cost more than Antigua, at the Duke of York's the offerings are homemade carrot cake and Czech lager. Celebrating its centenary year, this cinema cannot be missed if you are either living in, or visiting Brighton. The seats are comfortable, the theatre stunning and the crowds electric. Such was the Duke's importance to Brighton that many celebrities donated money to restore the Cinema.The back of the seats are littered with the names of local and national celebrities who helped keep the cinema alive. You won't find Avatar here, nor will you find the latest Hollywood 'romcom', but instead a very studious set of the world's best independent cinema. Special themed 'Lord of the rings' and 'Eurovision' nights mean you aren't just limited to a 90 minute treat, but a host of good nights out. An absolute must.

You can't beat the old fashioned cinema on London Road, with its one small screen and infamous legs poking off the roof. Well, you can't beat it, but maybe you can equal it. The brains behind the DofY have taken over part of Komedia in the Laines and added two new screens, enabling the range of movies to be greatly increased. They still focus on more art house and world cinema films but also touch a little more on the mainstream now as well. We popped in today on the off chance and were just in time to catch 'This is 40'. Like the original Dukes there is a delightful cafe/bar area, selling light meals, homemade cakes, ice cream, ales from the Dark Star brewery, and a selection of wines. I love the fact that you can take your alcoholic drinks into the movie - a real treat. You select your seats when you purchase your tickets. The back row has double seats for no extra cost so you can cosy up to your loved one! All the seating is really comfy and there is loads of leg room. This really does feel like a luxury experience compared with your mainstream cinemas. The toilets are upstairs and are definitely an improvement on the DofY -all brand spanking new with luscious soaps and hand creams. The price is slightly more than your average cinema but I would rather come here any day of the week than the Odeon or Cineworld. It was certainly a challenge for these guys to expand without losing the essence of what makes them special, but they seem to have achieved it hands down.

My mother has just had another baby recently and I love meeting them for coffees and occasionally going to see a film at the 'big scream' with them. The Big Scream gives new mothers an opportunity to view the latest films with their babies (under 12 months) in the company of other mothers and their wee screaming bairns. FAB idea, these are the kind of things I love about Dukeys. Anyway we decided to try it at Dukes @ Komedia this time around, to go drool over Gosling. Usually I am fine to accompany them. While I was buying a coffee and ticket I was told by the girl she'd have to check whether it was ok for me to go in as I didn't have a baby with me. I stated I was WITH a baby but still the manager had to come and chat with us. Kind of ridiculous - why would I Prefer to go to a film with a load of screaming babies shouting over it? Are you seriously being stuffy about it? It wasn't busy at all either. At first, when he began talking I thought he really wasn't going to let me in but as he went on he explained that the license prevented them from allowing single people in but in this case I would be viewed as a carer. I can understand turning away people on their own because it is specific for mothers BUT I was clearly here with mother and baby. It was the girl standing behind him that was being shirty and unpleasant, standing with her arms crossed, angrily trying to chip in. Really? Tone it down love. There was no need for that attitude - she doesn't have great people skills anyway as I saw her with some other customers. If they're going to carry on upholding the 'Dukes' name - such a great establishment, they could do with brushing up their customer service and she could learn how to smile! The coffee wasn't good either :( hopefully they'll improve next time around but I am a bit put off.
