There are six screens, one large one of 150 seats (known as the Renoir screen, after the cinema's former name), and the others all around 30 seats each (the Lumiere, Minema, Phoenix and Plaza screens). There's one additional screen of 55 seats dedicated to documentary films (the Bertha Dochouse). Prices are highest in the large screen (up to £18), a few pounds less in the smaller ones, while the Dochouse screen has its own ticket prices (never more than £9 as of June 2015). |
There are two screens, and the seats can be a little uncomfortable. However, the selection of films is usually excellent, with lots of the more difficult arthouse titles. |

There's a bar area on the main entrance level upstairs, with some seating outside. There's another bar downstairs, where tickets may also be purchased. |

Accessibility: The bar and screens are underground, accessed via staircases with sturdy handrails. There is an accessible toilet on the bar level, and (according to their website — we didn't verify this) a lift to get from ground level to bar level. However there is no lift to get from bar level to screen level (5 steps). |
