What to do and see in Cornwall, England: The Best Movie Theaters

January 26, 2022 Joeann Galban

Cornwall is the extreme southwestern peninsula of England. It has the longest stretch of continuous coastline in Britain and it is one of the sunniest areas in the UK. With picturesque villages, Celtic ruins, light blue waters, gardens and parks and unique architecture it certainly is among the most scenic areas of England. Home of many events and festivals and the land of Cornish pasty, it is definitely worth visiting.

We went and saw Miltary Wives, coming from a city where there are lots of cinemas we were delighted to find an independent cinema that gave us an overall better experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, the cinema was clean, comfortable seats with ample leg room. Would definitely visit again when in the area.

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.

As a family with young children, we make regular trips to this cinema to see all the latest releases of animated film. The seated areas are always spotlessly clean. In fact, the whole cinema is really well looked after. No complaints at all!

Phoenix Falmouth Cinema

Phoenix is an award winning independently operated multi-screen cinema on the east coast of Cornwall in the historic town of Falmouth. It is housed within a beautiful Nineteenth Century former "Drill Hall" building. Phoenix contains five cinema screens playing mainstream, classic and art-house releases with three auditoria offering luxury seating with armchairs, sofas, side tables and full waiter service. The two main larger auditoria provide traditional theatre-style cinema seating with stadium layouts and full digital sound and picture.The cinema, as you'd expect, also has a long contemporary confectionery and popcorn counter, but it also houses a stylish bar and restaurant on the first floor with chef-prepared meals, light cinema-snacks or freshly ground coffee and pots of tea. In 2009, the year that Phoenix opened, it won the prestigious UK Independent Cinema Of The Year award. Phoenix is part of the Merlin Cinemas group

We visited the cinema as a family whilst on holiday in the area. Great film that we watched; Blinded by the light’. Great food & drinks service whilst sat at seats! Following the film my 12 year old daughter fell down the steps on way out and injured her ankle. The man who I think was a manager was amazing and he immediately came to assist with a seat & brought a glass of water. He was willing to call ambulance if needed but we said that we would make our own way to hospital & he got a print out of a map for us to follow! Thank you so much for all your help whoever you were!

What an incredible cinema - it pays homage to the old school independent picture houses and pulls it off majestically. Service is excellent, prices are competitive, the popcorn tasty and the cinema itself is comfortable and inviting - it shows all the latest films too. A real antidote to the out of town brash multiplexes - this is a must visit with your family. You will not be disappointed. Parking is easy too and reasonably priced for Cornwall.

Stayed in Redruth for a couple of nights and finding this cinema was a revelation. Great choice of films, very comfy seats, extremely helpful and friendly staff and the food (highly recommend the movie and meal deal) was very tasty and plentiful. If we ever find ourselves back in Redruth we will definitely visit the Regal again.

This cinema has five screens. Four are accessible to wheelchair users. 1 and 4 are reached by wheelchair lifts, so allow more time before a performance. Very efficient, friendly staff will assist you. There are also audio headphones for hearing impaired people and there are some subtitled screenings. The seats are very comfortable and there are good film choices, including screened theatre performances. We love coming to this cinema particularly as one of our family is disabled and he feels relaxed coming here.

Fantastic cinema, it still smell new and the facilities are amazing. We visited on Sunday evening and it has the added bonus of the carpark next door being free after 16:00 - mount folly car park. In relation to some city's the price of tickets are very reasonable.
