The building was originally built as a cinema back in 1913 and we are incredibly lucky to have retained many of its original features. The original proscenium arch takes pride of place with it's ornate plasterwork alongside the beautiful curved ceiling, both of which are highlighted in gold. All of the armchairs are moveable.
Tech: DCP, DVD, BluRay or HDMI 2k digital projection and 7:1 surround sound.
If you hire screen one, you can also enjoy shared use of the bar space. The bar is open from 10am til 11pm daily (earlier close on Sundays), so your guests would be welcome to hang around for pre/post-screening drinks!

January 2025One of the few places you can go to a matinee other pints and not be scowled at by the parents.

October 2024I've been coming here for years and can't believe I've never written a review. The Castle Cinema is such a refreshingly cosy gem. Its decor is on point, Toasties are great, and it has great prices for drinks and cinema tickets. It's also a great place to find out about non mainstream films coming out, as well as a quiet and relaxing place to enjoy bigger movies outside of big cinema chains. The membership is definitely worth it as well. £6 Mondays are divine.

December 2024Really cosy venue with a great story behind it. Love the lack of ads so so much, and the Monday discount is great value. The armchairs in screen 1 are very comfy, and the picture quality is good. The only thing I'd mention is I felt the sound quality wasn't up to par. The system has that great bass boom that major cinemas have, but it was really quite tinny around the mids/highs, which was especially noticeable during the songs of Better Man (a musical). Other than that, a very charming cinema that I'll definitely be visiting again.
