Overall Rating
Good
First time visiting this cinema, although we have wanted to try it for a while. It's a great big cinema within Silverburn shopping centre, so it's in a great location for shops and restaurants as well as access to changing places toilet.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
There is a lift up to the cinema and once you exit the lift there is a large foyer area. The floor is black gloss with specks of sparkle, which is lovely and reminds me of space. There was a lowered section at the counter to buy tickets and food. We were in screen 9 which had wheelchair spaces at the front and a private accessible booth at the back, but it was already taken when we arrived. Our space at the front was possibly 3 rows from the front, which was better than being directly at the front but I still found it to be too close and can cause neck pain having to strain your neck to look at the screen.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Large carpark as part of the Silverburn shopping centre so there are lots of disabled bays.
Accessible Toilets
Good
There was an accessible toilet outside the screen which I found to be very small. There was not enough space at the side of the toilet for side transfers and not enough space for turning my wheelchair. I believe there is another accessible toilet in the foyer, but I didn't see inside that one. If you require a changing places toilet there is one in the Silverburn shopping centre, which isn't ideal if you really need to go, but it's fantastic the shopping centre has one.
Staff
Good
They seemed friendly and helpful.
Additional Information
I will definitely visit this cinema again and hopefully try the private booth the next time.
