Visited the Megafun play area only with my 5 year old. It all felt very safe with respect to COVID - clean, good one way system, lots of sanitiser and limited numbers. It was so nice for my daughter to get back inside a soft play!

First visit to this lovely cinema. Staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome. The cinema is a real gem. I suspect we will go often. Excellent value for money. As they have sofas in two of the screens I fear that if the film wasn’t very interesting I might nod off as they very extremely comfortable!
