Went to all night PJ party watching Disney Films 🎥

Cinema was clean and fresh and bearing in mind both cinemas being used the ladies toilets were kept looking clean and fresh all night

Staff couldn’t have been more helpful either

A good fun night all round

This is the coolest place . I love it hear. Whenever I come into London I try to go here as it plays all the best cult films where I can sit down and enjoy with other fans. Most people don't know what Rex manning day is and think I'm a bit strange but PCC holds the event every year. Great place, nice staff. Highly recommended 🙂and the Kevin smith picture 👌🏻

Omg ,what a fantastic time we had on Saturday 23rd June . At the greatest showman sing along. We sang laughed and danced would recommend it. It was like a pantomime and sing along in one. Would definitely go to your cinema again. Loved it xxxxx

I love it here! It's a little whacky, the programme is clearly carefully crafted and the staff are friendly and fun! I'm so happy I get to have these unique cinema experiences �

Amazing! Such an atmosphere!! The sing a long to The Greatest Showman was one of the best nights ever!!! Thank you for hosting an amazing evening ���

Absolutely love it! Always has great stuff on, prices are good considering the range of genres they show. Lovely staff and there’s even a request board so cinema goers can ask for films/ marathons/ movie seasons they’d like to see, which is a feature you don’t get anywhere else as far as I’m aware :)

We had a wonderful time at The Greatest Showman Singalong on Saturday. We had been looking forward to this even before singalongs were announced for this film - it’s such a great show for it!



The crowd warm-up was all good fun; a bearded lady entertained the crowd, put us through a few “vocal warm-up” exercises that gave us all a giggle, and taught us a few choreography moves and cues to encourage everyone to really get involved. As our host stated, this was not a normal show or a normal cinema - we were encouraged to sing loudly, dance around, and really enjoy ourselves.



One of the cinema attendants, Mustafa, clearly missed this entire opening act, and the point that we were there to have a good time. During the last chorus of “This Is The Greatest Show”, with approximately 3 minutes left of the film, and the audience singing loudly with their arms up in the air, my husband took a quick photo - no flash, just the dark silhouettes of all the waving arms. Mustafa told him he can’t take pictures, my husband put the phone away. Then, unnecessarily, Mustafa snarked “You should know that”.



Well, Mr Mustafa, we don’t take pictures during normal movies. We also don’t perform choreography and sing so loudly that we are hoarse for the rest of the day. We would never dream of taking video of a film. But taking a photo of this happy event - a photo of a bunch of arms in the air with a fuzzy screen in the background just a few minutes before leaving the cinema - seemed to be perfectly appropriate. If we were wrong, you could have stopped at the warning, even with the attitude. But the snide follow-up was uncalled for, and ended the great show with a big buzzkill.



If, as Mustafa stated, he had to tell “6 other people the same thing”, maybe add that to the opener - singing, dancing, being loud, wearing costumes - all okay. Photos, not okay. Except for the professional camera team that were there throughout the evening. They’re also okay.



It was a great day. Don’t let something like this dampen things for others again. Thanks.

It is a small cinema, but the screening was lots of fun, with loads of audience participation... We got a great goody bag too.. the only thing is the toilet are very small but otherwise is was an amazing place Xx

Predator: 6.30pm screening = a joke.

An iconic movie from my youth in 35mm, I was sold, excited to see this action masterpiece on the big screen.

An experience I was too young for in 1988.

Sadly it was drowned out by drunk groups of lads chanting every line & yelling out Arnie impressions constantly.

I respect the excitement, but it kind of shat on the whole experience. It was like watching a sports game.



Furthermore there were lots of people on their phones not even engrossed in the film, just lit up screens distracting you.

Is this where we're at now? Snapchat & social media sharing every breathing second of what we're up to?

One guy was filming most of the film on his samsung, then sharing it...wtf?? Watch the film!!



You had staff on either sides doing nothing about it.



PCC, when people pay above the odds to go to your cinema, to watch the great movies you put on, be it 70mm or 35mm....you need to enforce some rules, toughen up & chuck people out who ruin it for everyone else.



Someone else had the same experience below.
