They offer a choice of seats, luxury seats, sofas and even beanbags in one of the screens! The only problem we find with this cinema is that you have to queue in the same pladce for tickets and snacks which makes the queue quite a wait at times.

Typical for a chain the prices are quite a bit higher than the local independents, but you are getting a higher quality of experience. Always something on whatever time of day you go, means its worth a visit, and you can of course pop to one of the local restaurants after, or before the film, to make a complete night out.

The cinema is divided into 3 screens, Premiere, Century and Bijou screens, the biggest being the Premiere (this screen also has the most expensive seats £6 for their premier seats) and this is where most of the new releases are shown. The century and the Bijou screens are both quite a bit smaller (the bijou is like watching a film in your front room!) but both show the bigger releases a couple of weeks after and also show the more independent films. Overall a nice little cinema well worth a visit if in the area and dont fancy a trip to the big multiplex.

Tickets are cheap, movies are great and some cult favourites are often played here. It isn't glam or grand, based in a lecture theatre at the university, but you tend to be able to see great, serious film from foreign cinema, or some lesser known directors closer to home. It is quiet, clean and definately for the film buff, so it means you can watch what you like in peace. Free parking makes this a better bet than the Odeon in town and if you go to a cheap monday night film - it is even better value.

I like this place very much, mostly because, unsurprisingly, I like to be able to watch a film without people talking through it and it tends to attract film students and older people who sit in silence. The bar and food have improved greatly since a refurbishment a few years ago and it feels so much more personal and a sophisicated night out than going to a multi-plex. As an added bonus you can park close by for free, which is unusual in Canterbury and there is a regular bus service into town.

The cinema is very small, but where else can you watch a film for under £5?! They always have the latest releases too which you don't always get with the smaller cinemas.

If you're staying in good ol' Canters for a few days, I'd definitely recommend a visit the Marlowe…read moretheatre. During my undergrad years here, it was actually still under renovation and well, I'm shallow and new buildings always excite me. Marlowe is no different, it's definitely ready for big crowds and summer time drinks outside the patio. They've made a large patio and even decorated it with a happy theatre mask which is creepy at night, and if you're a bit drunk and high. (Students will most likely be that!) Inside the theatre itself is a theatre worthy of big big productions, I think they have 4 levels of seats, somehow, we managed to bag front row centre tickets to see Sarah Millican (to be fair, we booked 18 months in advanced!) The only qualms I have is that they definitely cater to the the locals and not students because the prices for drinks are STEEEEEEP. £4.10 for a frigging single oj and vodka. (I might just go the to student bars beforehand, thanks. If any of you feel the same way, and not local to Canterbury, drop me a line and I'll direct you to the uni campus so if you do want to drink like a student and give the liver a wake up call, you'll know where to go-also SNAKEBITE. Gets you absolutely carparked.)
