Newlyn Filmhouse

Opened in March 2016, Newlyn Filmhouse is becoming a popular place to visit. Positioned opposite the Coombe River, the building cuts into a steep granite bank, cleverly housing a two screen Cinema and spacious Cafe Bar. We recommend booking in advance for films, events and restaurant meals. The digital screens feature armchair and sofa style lumbar seating with a tiered layout. The top of the range projection equipment provides razor-sharp Barco DP2K8S digital viewing with audio via punchy 5.1 Dolby Sound Systems. As well as the best in mainstream and alternative cinema, offerings include live events, children's films and local titles. The fully licensed Cafe Bar upstairs is a great place to meet before or after a film, or pop into for a Monmouth coffee and a slice of cake. The seasonal menu provides freshly cooked delicious food, often chosen from the staff's favourite cookbooks. All fresh produce comes from within a half hour radius including fish from Newlyn Fish Company.

This is a small cinema with very high standards of comfort and service. We don't go often but always thoroughly enjoy the visit. Highly recommended.

Was given this experience by my daughter. Going into the VR room you wonder just what you're getting in to but it's well run, friendly and an amazing and totally absorbing experience. Be warned..you do need to go down a flight of steps! But highly recommended for young and old.

Reviewed By anniieking

We did the cold war room which was great fun and good for a large group. Clues came up on screen when requested which was better than someone having to come in. There were about 10 things you had to do to escape- much better than the ones which only have a few. This escape room involved more ‘exploring’ than some- lots of looking around and examining objects. Overall a great escape room with some clever clues.

Chapel Street

Reviewed By AdrianS5955 - Berkshire, United Kingdom

Quieter street than the main road through the centre of town, but with plenty of interest: quirky shops, art galleries and inviting pubs, all within easy reach of the sea and the town centre.
