Visited this cinema a bunch of times around mid to late 90’s whilst under Virgin ownership. If I recall they offered a monthly pass for £20 which entitled you to unlimited movies. Don’t remember any other cinema chain offering anything similar around that time until many years later when Cineworld launched their Unlimited Card?

Screen 5: Superscreen looks a decent sized auditorium with 390 (+ disabled) seats. Anyone know the screen dimensions?

The rest of the auditoriums all look rather small.
