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 &pound;16 at peak times), a few pounds less in the smaller ones, while the Dochouse screen has its own ticket prices (never usually more than &pound;9 as of June 2017). Note that the Dochouse only usually has around five minutes of trailers, whereas the regular screens have around 20 minutes including adverts.
