We don't have a cinema right on our doorstep.
We have the big multiplex at Chesterfield - about a 30 minute drive away. Thats where the girls tend to go with their friends.
My favourite cinema is at Belper - its about 25 minutes away. Its an old fashioned cinema with sofas and big chairs. You have to book (its very popular) and you have allocated seats which you are shown to. They sell the obligatory popcorn, sweets and icecream but also sell lovely big slices of home made cake, hot chocolate, lovely coffee, wine and beer. It takes a little longer for the films to come out there but I'd rather wait and go see them there.
About a year ago we had a little cinema open up in Wirksworth - about 10 minutes from us. I understand that its really quirky with arm chairs and sofas and they sell tapas for you to eat whilst watching the film. But I've never been - everything they show seems to be very arty and they don't have many main stream films. And when they do its impossible to get in as it only holds about 40 people.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone!
