I haven’t regularly been going to the cinema for several years, but have really enjoyed going to the Everyman Cinema in Cardiff Bay twice this month. Comfortable sofas to sit on, good quality food and drink - and, of course, a couple of excellent films. Have now purchased an annual Everyman membership so will be going more frequently now 😊

Everyman is redefining cinema. Bringing an innovative lifestyle approach to our venues, where you swap your soft drink for a nice glass of red wine and a slice of freshly made pizza served to your seat.
