My friend Dot & I went to the cinema after a two year break! Cant believe it so long since we have been.
We used to go to the Vue cinema in Clevelys but road works put us off so now we go to the luxury Flower Bowl at Barton Grange Garden Centre.
As you can see it’s all velvet sofas, cushions & velvet flowers on the walls. You can take in any drinks & food from the cafe or bar as there are little tables.
We saw Conclave a film about choosing the new Pope with Ralph Feinnes & Isabelle Rossellini both were excellent.
We both found it absolutely fascinating even though a rather strange woke ending.
I haven't been to the cinema for years. Used to absolutely love it. Our more recent attempts were marred by people clinking ice cubes in large drinks, rustling enormous buckets of popcorn, talking and the flashing lights of their phones being checked constantly. A favourite place in my childhood. The hush in the dark, half the room full of cigarette smoke (!) and the usherettes coming round with trays of ice creams while they changed the reels. Eee, you made me all nostalgic!
@casablanca Yes all that & the back row in our youth! It was very quiet today & a good bit of space between each sofa. There are three cinema rooms with only about 50 seats in each.
very nice , we have a theatre in Arnold (run by the council) , which doubles as a cinema , we are going to see "Wicked" in a few days £5-00 each , bargain ... and you can take your own food and drink in ... alcohol has to be purchased from the bar !!!
Looks and sounds lovely! Is that a new film? We are currently watching the BBC series of Wolf Hall - and loving it. I like a historical film/series as I feel I always learn something. Even though there's always a bit of poetic licence!
Lovely shot. A posh place to sit down and watch a good film. I like that you added the head of another person watching the film. It's been ages since I have last been to the cinema.
