Alhambra Cinema

Located in the heart of Penrith, the Alhambra Cinemas provide a first-class cinema experience, screening all the latest cinema releases as well as independent and foreign-language films in comfortable and relaxing surroundings.Now with Dolby Digital projection and Dolby Digital sound.

Reviewed By FrankMinaM - Carlisle, United Kingdom

Three screen cinema with film savvy staff ... great for families and popular films but equally good for lesser known interesting thoughtful films. Alhambra is very much part of the arts and entertainment offer in Penrith and provides both popular and intellectual films. I’ve watched films as interesting as the Mummy in 3D, Notting Hill ( 20th anniversary), Casablanca theme night, the last witness with Q&A, Yuli , the Carlos Acosta story, Jellyfish, Dirty Dancing, Fantastic Beasts in 3D, For Sama, The Two Popes, the Irishman, ROH Manon Lescaut, and many many more... Alhambra is small in size but massive in its cultural offer... come and “see”! Enjoy the experience of a small screen or the larger big screens!

Reviewed By brachyn123 - Middlesbrough, United Kingdom

Newbies to this outdoor forest style holiday, chose staycation due to covid..had a better than expected time as we usually do a Sun Sea sand holiday normally Tenerife, malaga type of thing and so forest outdoor activities holiday is something we would never of dreamt of, firstly super safe never worried once Every precaution was in place to keep every guest safe.. from arriving to leaving we had no complaints Staff always at hand throughout the park for questions / answers...restaurants superb, our favourite been ROUGE CAFE ( specially Ricardo ) Lakeside inn the service food outstanding, disabled friendly , easy access to every activity, baby activities mainly closed due to covid but still lots of parks and Sun aqua Tropical paradise swim pool was open FREE but limited 2 hours slots pre bookable entry only as is ALL THE ACTIVITIES AND RESTAURANTS.. Loved our lodge and made full use of sauna , fully equipped with everything you need for self catering, we had wine cooler, 3 ensuite bathrooms 1 having jet bath.. we did not use outdoor barbecue to damp but in spring summer we definitely would. We took park in lots of activities and our only regret was we were not allowed family day passes again covid restrictions as originally it was to have a family gathering for my hubby's 60th..Overall centre parks is much bigger than I anticipated and must highly recommend the sports village its huge and the activities are endless, crazy golf to segway, biking, ariel tree climbing ,zip wire, caving wall climbing, badminton to pool , list is endless...Overall we have family ranging from 2 years of age to teenagers, thru to 60 and there is something there for everyone..so overall we would return, though much more expensive than a holiday abroad it was a great holiday, fabulous lodge , full of fun memories cosy nights round log burner with chilled beers..FAB FAB FAB.....will return..
