Here at Luxe we have a single auditorium that seats eighty (plus two wheelchair spaces which are designed for any sized chair), where you can watch the film of your choice in fully air conditioned luxurious surroundings. Seating has recently been fully refurbished and updated. With our Premier Seating you can sit in extra comfort and have drinks and snacks brought to you during the performance. We offer Autism and Sensory Friendly Screenings, where the entire building is set up to be as relaxing and calm as possible along with subtitled screenings and Live Event streams. We have an elegant, fully licensed Bar that has recently been upgraded to include even more products that have been requested over the last year as well as a popcorn warmer and improved coffee making facilities. Now under new management we have been working hard to build upon the great things that the Luxe is known for, starting with digital laser projection and a new screen as well as new seating and carpets.

What a fabulous venue this is, a real old world feel, comfy leather seats, fantastic customer service, good choice of snacks and unfathomably inexpensive tickets. This is the place to come and watch your movies.

Was a little dubious about what to expect from this place but I have to say it was brilliant!! We choose Heaven and Hell! The guys who greeted us and helped us throughout were brilliant. It was a great laugh and I’m so happy to boast we completed our challenge with 40 odd seconds to spare!!!! Talk about tight!!! Thank you guys for the brilliant entertainment. Totally recommend it for team building activities for work and pleasure. Hope to try another challenge soon!!!

I was given a one hour flight experience as a Christmas present which was great. When I saw it was a static simulator I was a little let down, expecting an actual moving flight simulator. Fear not! With the wrap-around windows it really felt like I was moving. The sound effects, landing gear rumbling etc added to the atmosphere. I couldn't fault it for feeling like an actual flight. My wife sat behind me and she also felt like she was actually flying. We enjoyed looking out of the windows at the scenery passing by. I can assure you, you will not realise you are static. I was most impressed by the flying experience. The instructor was very professional, giving me adequate instruction without overloading me with too much info. I chose a couple of routes to 'fly', and enjoyed every minute. Definitely recommend this as a gift or spoil yourself and give it a go.

Had great fun in the Stranger things escape room! There were lots of exciting puzzles to work out and, although it was challenging, it was still great fun for all the familly. Jasmine was really helpful and encouraging and, while we were in the room, she gave us some really helpful tips.

Somewhere within MacGuffin's is the curious book everyone wants to get their hands on. The legendary P.I. you work for is sending you into the midst of the mystery to secure the book. But the clock is ticking and MacGuffin will be back soon... Come and challenge yourself, along side a team of your friends or family. It will take cooperation and all of your skills to triumph.

A group of 7 friends enjoyed the Santa's Workshop themed room on Friday. We had a lot of fun and are coming back for more at CryptX without a doubt. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The subtle clues they gave were way too subtle for us. I think the level of help given was perfect a real credit to our host.

Me and my husband visited for our first ever escape room experience and we loved both rooms! Everything is perfectly designed and thought out with brilliant props and scenery for a fully immersive experience; we had great fun as a team of 2 but I imagine it would be even better with more team members! The puzzles were the right level of challenging to make them fun but still get you thinking and it was a great feeling when you accomplished them! The Merlin room was our favourite, everything was so magical and you really felt like you were in another world, we want to do it again! Richie is so friendly and always on hand should you need extra clues. We cant wait to come back and try the new rooms!

We came to Escape Peterborough a couple of weeks ago to try out one of their rooms, at first glance I’ll be honest the place looks like a standard office building “how can you have escape rooms here” I thought to myself We were greeted by a nice gentleman named Luke he introduced himself and ask us if we had played before (which we had) really nice humour and rapport that you don’t usually get at businesses like these, after we got ourselves ready we were greeted by what felt like 30,000 steps to the top floor (don’t worry it’s only about 2 floors up) and were brought into a narrow corridor, Luke then proceeded to give us our safety tips and our story and as he said “your time starts now” we where wowed as this is the moment we entered the room and saw the amazing decor, I haven’t played many escape rooms but this is definitely one of the best looking ones for sure!!! The puzzle were difficult but not impossible and we managed to escape and save our dog in an amazing time of 43:23 I can say this is our first room with Escape Peterborough but it will NOT be our last we were amazing stunned with how amazing the room looked and how good the puzzles were props to the person who designed that room it was phenomenal, and our Game Master Luke made the experience even more enjoyable he made us feel immersed with the game with the slight nudges he gave us, he is one man that seems like he loves his job!!! 11/10 would escape again
