Took some friends and children,haven't bee for a few years as you have to have the children as an excuse. Jack Jay and Johnny were very funny, every act was excellent,the children loved the motorcyclists how brave are they there act was spectacular the whole show from beginning to end was greeted with cheers.The show was packed so we did have limited seats but we sat up the top and had an excellent view.A little bit pricey at £15 for children and £23 for an adult we got ours from the tourist information office i think they maybe slightly cheaper.We went to the afternoon performance and as it was raining kept the children amused for a couple of hours.

Don't be put off by the older exteriors of this building it's a tale of two sides. When you get inside there's a modern foyer with drinks, kids sweets and very friendly and helpful staff. Clean toilets on this level and also near screen 5. All screens have great sounds, big screens and very comfortable recliner seats as standard. Visited on multiple occasions this week and not been disappointed. Very safe procedures in place during covid19. Give it a try young and old or both you won't be disappointed. They're showing films only released prior to lockdown both for very young and older folks, but very fairly have reduced prices to reflect this. Give a go, we did and made are holidays entertainment all the better????????

Popped in here for a coffee and snack ,really friendly welcome from the guys working there,it’s a nice setting in the middle of the boating lake,it wasn’t the best weather when we called ,rainy and quite chilly ,but it will be very popular in the summer months as there is outside seating ,and it’s so close to the beach ,just across the walkway .there is easy parking on the roadside ,would like to visit in the summer months ,wish we lived nearer ,we enjoyed our coffee and cheese scone ,there are lots more on offer ,it’s in the opposite direction to the funfair area ,so turn left instead of right
