Reel Cinema Rochdale
📍 Rochdale, North West
Six-screen Rochdale cinema featuring a premium REEL Lounge with sofas and armchairs, parent-and-baby screenings, relaxed accessibility screenings, and four hours free parking. Staff actively monitor and manage screenings.
Me and my husband went to the cinema today. There were three teenage boys sat on the same row as us. They were constantly making noises and talking non stop for 2/3 of the movie. It was so disruptive for the rest of us who were trying to watch the movie in peace. We told them to “be quiet” and thankfully a member of staff popped her head in to see if everything was okay. She spotted the boys were being very disruptive and spoke to the boys. A few minutes later security removed the boys from the screen. This has been my experience recently where some youngsters have been extremely disruptive and it is unbearable to focus on the movie. It makes me not want to visit the cinema often as I feel like I’m wasting my money and the experience is ruined. I was thankful that the memeber of staff today (she had brown hair in a bun and I never knew her name). saw the issue and removed them as the rest of the movie was enjoyable once they had left. This is why I have given this review five stars. Please Reel staff pop in every so often to combat this behaviour. Overall I enjoy visiting Reel as it’s always clean and comfortable, as well as staff being lovely!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who want a step above the big chains — cleaner screens, more legroom, and staff who actually intervene when other viewers become disruptive. The REEL Lounge is the pick for toddlers and anyone who values comfort over cost. All ages welcome; parent-and-baby screenings make newborn visits practical.

“Great staff members. In a time where reform are trying to control the narrative, the south asian workers and manager here (Saira) have the best customer service. Keep it up!”
