Things to do in United Kingdom, United Kingdom: The Best Movie Theaters

A full time cinema that has been showing films continuously since 1922! The foyer is a mini museum dedicated to the Golden Age of Cinema.

We're back, with cinema screenings and the wonderful Eat Me Cafe operating from our first floor space! The home of truly great theatre. Let us transport you to new worlds and enjoy new experiences through the magic of theatre – no trip to Scarborough would be complete without it! We offer a unique, intimate experience in our renowned theatre-in-the-round as well as the more traditional end-on McCarthy theatre and cinema. The SJT has been and is known for its commitment to new writing throughout its 61 years not to mention Alan Ayckbourn’s 80 World Premieres. It is home to excellent drama, music, films, comedy and live streaming and has been the starting point for many, now familiar names.

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.

The Rex has one huge screen set in a glorious 1938 art-deco proscenium with the sharpest film projection and clearest non-booming sound anywhere in the world. Throughout, its seating is big and soft. It has been called luxurious. It is better. It is civilized. It reminds us of what we have long stopped expecting from public buildings.

The Rebel is a traditional style cinema showing the latest Big Screen releases.

Established in 1914, the Hyde Park Picture House is one of the UK's oldest cinemas. The Grade II listed building features gas lighting, an ornate balcony, comfy red chairs, operational 35mm projectors and a small snack kiosk. It shows the best independent, classic and award winning cinema from around the world, as well as family films every Saturday at 12noon and regular Baby screenings on Wednesdays at 11am. Please check website for upcoming listings.

We are a purpose built 1930's former Odeon Cinema. Reopened in 1994.

The Alhambra screens current films daily in a 105-year old heritage auditorium with magnificent digital quality. The best of the World's theatre, ballet and opera are relayed live by satellite several times a month.
