The Gate Picturehouse

“Beautiful cinema great seats My film was the best show I’ve seen all year x Film festival Ralph Steadman opening night”

“Definitely book for the first 10 rows otherwise I don't know how you will see the screen. Decent snack and drink options, 2 toilets per gender. We had a nice time, lovely location. It's one screen only in the whole place.”

“It’s a historic cinema first and foremost. It doesn’t have bells and whistles but does have a lot of charm. I would echo what others have said in that the screen is tiny (the smallest I’ve ever seen), and seating is only on a slight slope so you really need in the first ten rows to enjoy it. Luckily our showing wasn’t fully booked so we were able to move closer to the front. The picture attached is taken second row from the back. The staff are pleasant but I was mildly annoyed when I went out to get some chocolate buttons to sustain me through the snore fest that was Wuthering Heights, to find the tills had been closed (tbf it was 10.30). You can also hear vibration and thudding from the club under the cinema. Overall, I probably wouldn’t go back as my first choice of cinema but it wasn’t a bad experience.”

“An old cinema that shows its age, with chipping paint, crumbling walls and other odds and ends, which some may find charming or not. The toilets are a bit gross, which I imagine is because of the fact they have no vents, so there are a million air fresheners, like you’d find in a home with body parts hidden away. Volume was quite loud so I had to reduce it with my ear plugs. Staff seemed friendly and the chairs with a little table in between is a nice touch.”
