It's often worth having a look on the website and their twitter feed (@CamPicturehouse) for special events like Director/Writer Q&As or etc, often very good. Go to at least one, very interesting

I love this theatre. And it has a great cafe with nice variety of red and white wine ! A bit pricey but worth visiting. Especially during festivals

If you find yourself here often, get a membership with Picturehouses. Costs £21 for students or £30 normally, with 3 free tickets per year and 10% off at the bar . You make the outlay back pretty quick Read more

Home of the Cambridge Film Festival every September. A great (public!) festival , with many gems. TAKE ONE is the official review publication, you can follow the best of the fest at TAKEONECinema.net

Best independent cinema in the city . You can drink a glass of wine inside the screen. Please feel free to enjoy it. Discounts for students if you show your College ID.

Membership is something of a steal - if you intend to be here more than 3/4 times in a year. Remember you can use it at all other Picturehouse cinemas as well .

Courses (pitched at 1st year, 1st term undergrad level) offered by the Cambridgeshire Film Consortium that run out of the 'classroom ' upstairs here. Very good, and discounts for members! Read more

One of my favourite cinemas , showing a wide range of films from around the world. Screen 1 is particularly impressive. The superb Cambridge Film Festival is held here every year in mid September.

Screen 1 is THX certified. And I'm pleased to report - it shows! Totally immersive sound.

Great place to pitch up for a coffee or drink before the film . Staff are always friendly and helpful.

Bar is very nice, and recently refurbished. Food good, the 'Gertrude's Special Crepe ' is recommended if you fancy some food.

Get a membership if you like good films . It includes 3 free films , lots of savings on tickets and no booking fees.

There are Blues dancing classes every 2nd and 3rd Monday of the month.

Great cinema as expected from a Picturehouse.

Membership charge is now £35 a year for 2013. Still worth it.

Comfortable Cinema , nice atmosphere.

Best cinema in Cambridge !!

Worth becoming a member. 10% off food and drinks.

They do a special screening "The Big Scream" exclusively for parents with babies under one year old Read more

Great movies often over looked by big cinemas

Sound, picture, audience.

The phoenix rises, again

GET THERE EARLY. ALWAYS QUEUES FOR TICKS N DRINKS

best cinema in cambridge

They have some great bourbons at the bar !

Sadly gone, but framed on the cafe wall were things that the cleaners had found. There were obvious things like babies' shoes , gross things like toe-nail clippings, and a pair of skimpy pink knickers!

TRY THE LOCAL BEER

Great to chill out

They have Duvel and Leffe

Check out Gertrude's special crepè. Yum yum :)
