“I really enjoy the Hoyts Lux experience. Its obvious the higher end of expense but we use as a treat every now and then. What i particularly enjoy is the personalised attention from when you are greeted at the door right through to ordering food and drinks. Its nice to feel special once in a while sitting in a recliner, drinking a cold alcoholic beverage and waiting for the sliders to arrive. Its definitely the highlight of my week.”

“EntX definitely felt more lively when it first opened, especially with all the eateries and places around, but the cinema experience is still unbeatable. LUX in particular is so good and it’s really hard to go back to a regular cinema after it!!Always a fun time watching movies at EntX, and it remains my go-to for a movie night out in the theatres🫶🏻”
