Firstly, a big thank you to so many of you who have taken the time to provide feedback on our first few months of operation. We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying the experience. If you’d like to offer any further thoughts (or haven’t done so far), then do pick up a Customer Comment Card in the filmhouse or visit our website and complete the online survey. While the outdoor seating area remains an ideal space to relax in before your film, we have made a few changes to the foyer adjacent to the filmhouse too. So, take some extra time to enjoy a glass of something lovely and one of our delicious range of snacks, before taking your seat in the auditorium. We hope that you think that our film choices are as good as the experience, and are thrilled this month to also introduce our Under the Radar series... some brilliant features that you are unlikely to catch in any multiplex.
