Tickets, formats & the best value

Standard 2D/3D & IMAX

  • Lux recliners are standard across non-IMAX screens; IMAX uses its own seating.

  • IMAX at Cheshire Oaks: go big for blockbusters where aspect ratio and sound really matter.

Typical pricing cues to watch

  • Online from ยฃ7.99 for Lux seats (excludes IMAX). In-venue is typically higher; dynamic pricing applies. Always check the current session page for your screening.

Current offers & discounts to know

  • Meerkat Movies 2-for-1 (Tue/Wed): activate via Compare the Market, then apply when booking.

  • Vue offers hub: look out for family/kids screenings (e.g., Mighty Mornings / Big Shorts) and other member promos. Availability varies by date.

  • Deal-hunter tip: money-saving sites frequently round up valid Vue codes or partner discounts (incl. key-worker deals via Blue Light/Health Service partners when running). Always verify terms before buying.


How to pick the perfect seat

  • IMAX: middle block, roughly one-third up from the screen base typically balances scale with clarity.

  • Lux screens: rows central to the projector line (avoid the extreme front if youโ€™re sensitive to motion). The side-table lets you park snacks comfortably.


Getting there & parking

  • By car: set sat-nav to CH65 9HD and follow signs for Coliseum Leisure (right by the Designer Outlet). Free parking is available on site.

  • By bus: 1 (and, at times, X1/2) stop near the venue; the Vue page notes the stop is ~200m away.
