I reply like this old cinema .Takes me back to my child hood.There is a feeling of calm family values which I am at ease with.

Film spoilt as too cold in auditorium heating needed especially in such cold weather. I know it will be closing soon but so sad to see it in such a state of disrepair! Remember going when a youngster to see films and bands was a beautiful place back then in the sixties.

The appeal of this wonderful venue is that the seating smells like my old school bus. It just has buckets of character. Bliss. Just seen that the last showing there (after 80 odd years) will be on 28th of Feb 2019

Was in screen 3. Bit dusty seats have seen better days and not much leg room and I'm only 6'1". Picture was great and sound very good. Apart from the discomfort not a bad experience.

The Reel cinema is unfortunately closing due to competition. However, our visit was an eye opener compared to modern cinema's. The screen was a suitable size, unlike the massive screens in a modern one. It had nostalgic red curtains that pulled back when the showing started. The seats were somewhat uncomfortable, plus they were the spring back seat type. I guess due to its age, the best was made from a somewhat out dated design in its modernisation. There was a distinct lack of any air conditioning or even extractor fans in our screen 3. As it became quite close and musty. This didn't distract from the brilliant film being shown, which was HURRICANE. A film about the Polish 303 Fighter Squadron. The price for seniors was 4.50p each as well as a free drink. This cinema, all said and done, is a past era classic. I personally enjoyed our visit.
