We've been to our Senior Screening at the Vue today. I love it - it feels quite decadent sitting at the pictures in the middle of the day. We mind our DGS2 on Mondays and Wednesdays, so it fits in well for us, and at £3.29 each it's probably about the cost of the coffee and biscuits. We didn't go to the pictures much before we retired, but are seeing all sorts now. And I often find the films I didn't really fancy are the ones I really enjoy. smile

We have this at our local Vue Cinema. It's excellent! Coffee and biscuits and good films.

I went last week smile

It was awesome !!

I have never seen so many senior citizens in one place. Our Empire cinema run it. They publish a programme 8 weeks in advance and its an eclectic mix of new movies and classics for £3 per person including a cuppa and a chocolate biscuit.

The entire screening room was full( 500 people) - I've rarely seen that in the usual screens at £9.95 a ticket!!

The screen we were in had the latest sound system and the comfy swivelly chairs with plenty of legroom.

I can really recommend it !

I would go. I've never heard of it where I live.

Very poor English there. I did of course mean it is better to watch with other people.blush

I understand you get a biscuit, cup of tea and chance of a chat for about £3/4.
Just try it Mick, preferable to watching it on a small screen and with other people.

I have been tempted to try this out, despite most films that are shown are shown at the same time or just before DVD release dates.
