This place is a great little Picture house, it really has put he glammer back into going to see a movie. I was on a little day trip with a group of friends to see a classic old movie north by northwest. Thats not to say it doesn't show all the the up to date movies. Then were advertising new... More

This is like stepping back in time - its so cute and relaxed. Makes a great change from the corporate cinemas. They do insist on having an interval, so the film sometimes stops at a random juncture, while the lights come up and ice creams are sold -but it all adds to the charm!. The cinema also shows classic movies... More

I've been to this cinema a few times, & I just love the character of the place. It has velvet curtains like you find in a theater that dramatically sweep open when the film is about to start. They also have an interval, so you can stretch your legs/ go the toilet etc. It's a great place for all ages,... More

Woolton Picture house is probably one of the oldest cinema's in the North West (not a proven fact!). It is situated nestled up a one way street in woolton village, It has only one screen but shows up to date films and gives off a lovely warm vibe. The concession stand before you enter the movie is a little pricey... More

This cinema is so lovely.. it is an old style picture house - they have an interval half way through the film, they have a cornetto lady coming around with icecreams during the interval too. More
