Vue Cinemas

Great all round. Lift access. Spotless. Door opens out (though a little heavy with a very small handle to pull).

The Omni Centre isn't the sort of place you'd expect to find a Hobbit. However, I just visited it to see the rerelease of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Located in Edinburgh on Greenside Road, it’s one of the city’s biggest cinemas. It reponed recently after the Covid 19 pandemic and plays movies and live performances of sport and theatre.

Wonderful venue for anyone who needs mobility aids. Flat access to the Omnicentre from the street at the opposite end to the steps. Lift to take you up to the cinema level. All cinemas have specific spaces for wheelchairs or mobility scooters. Also seats on the level easily accessible to transfer on to or to use if you can’t use steps. Staff are very helpful and prices are exceptually reasonable for all showings. Disabled toilet very easy to enter and large so it is very accessible for wheelchair and mobility scooter users. Easy access to the counter to buy tickets, snacks and drinks. I have a CEA Card which you can apply for online for £5 per year. This gives you free entry for a career so two people can go to the cinema for £5.99 in total plus snacks. If you don’t have one, and need someone with you, apply for one. You do need proof of Disability benfit or PIP benefit. The only downside is the lack of parking outside the venue. However you can be dropped off outside. There is a car park under the venue with lift access to the main centre. Knocked off half a star because of the parking. There are buses close by if you travel by bus. Highly recommend it for a visit to the cinema here. Ice cream is lovely too!!!
