“Great cinema, very intimate. Staff are great, nice selection of hot and cold soft drinks, alcohol and snacks. Plenty of parking out the front. Because this cinema is small the selection of what they are playing is small. Have request tickets then they call you back (I like this).”

“Loved the uniqueness of this lovely cinema. Comfortable, clean and great food/drink options. Only 2 cinemas with limited seats so be sure to book in advance so you don't miss out.”

Overview

Shoreline Cinema offers a genuinely cosy movie experience - sofas with side-table arms, a selection of cold and hot drinks including alcohol and snacks, and a small front cafe with fresh baking and quality coffee. The venue is compact, so the film selection at any one time is small, and staff operate a callback system for requested screenings. Parking directly out front. Pram access.
