10 Movie Theaters in Yorkshire That You Shouldn't Miss
Yorkshire (/ˈjɔːrkʃər, -ʃɪər/; abbreviated Yorks), formally known as the County of York, is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom. Due to its great size in comparison to other English counties, functions have been undertaken over time by its subdivisions, which have also been subject to periodic reform. Throughout these changes, Yorkshire has continued to be recognised as a geographical territory and cultural region. The name is familiar and well understood across the United Kingdom and is in common use in the media and the military, and also features in the titles of current areas of civil administration such as North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

We rented the Snow Queen from the theatre, which was filmed with a small audience when social distancing and masks still permitted a few visitors in the audience. My children aged 3 and 6 were gripped! Having been to a few of the theatres live productions in the past, they were disappointed that we were unable to make the journey back from Switzerland to Scarborough this year to be with family, and the visit to the theatre being impossible was almost a tragedy for them. This rentals opportunity really made their day! A theatre experience in our living room, with popcorn interval too - but I had to pour my own glass of wine sadly ???? The performance was incredible - one actor giving it her all. The enthusiasm, the switch between characters, so much energy - she never faltered. The music and lighting also brought a perfect atmosphere to the show, and the editing was seamless. A very impressive piece of work by a small town theatre - I strongly recommend this show to anyone with children aged 3 and up.

I love it here, I’d much rather go to the palace than drive to York for the big chain cinemas. Plenty of legroom and reasonably priced snacks and drinks.

Visited for the first time yesterday and very pleased we did .my wife wanted to see the Favourite and the only cinema nearby at a convenient time was the light.Having driven into Bradford we parked at the broadway centre and followed the signs directing you to the cinema,very easy and an added benefit is if you show your parking tickets the authorise it giving you free parking for up to five hours. The picturehouse is very comfortable and staff helpful and although the individual screens are quite small capacity there very clean with small table and reclining ability also very price competitive. So now we've stumbled across this one we will be coming back again

lovely cinema with good leg room and a great cup of tea in a proper mug ! home made ginger cake was fantastic and it even serves alcohol when the film isn't for kids. You can catch live streamed events at reasonable prices and with digital sound it is wonderful to have such a gem of a place right on our doorstep.
