http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20279 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20279 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19169 Tickets on my last visit cost just under 3€.
The main screen is a fabulous old salon, complete with balcony and boxes. The whole cinema is housed in a fin de siecle building which has starred in at least one Almodovar film.
As with any Spanish museum, morgue or meeting place there is a cafeteria serving coffee and snacks on site.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19169 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18842 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18842 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17893 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17893 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17632 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17632 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16379 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16379 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16247 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16247 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15420
You can kick back and relax on the lovely, beaten up sofas (instead of the uncomfortable chairs normally found in this type of establishment!) There is even an old shell of a car, decked out with cushions, which you can sit in!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15420 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15363
They play a fine selection of art-house movies, boast of two cafes and a cool cinema-theme bookshop. The best part is- buy a ticket on either side of the water and take a free little boat that will shuttle you to the other side. Where else can you arrive at the cinema by boat?]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15363 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14170 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14170 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13101
The real find here is a tiny cinema and cafe called Mini-Cine, which is run by an English guy from Brighton and his Icelandic wife. If you want a decent cup of tea and some fruit cake, then this is the place to come to!

The films are great as well. When I visited I caught a screening of an old Russian film, Man with a Movie Camera, which makes a refreshing change from the offerings at my local multiplex.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13101 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12482 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12482 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12475 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12475 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12411
It hosts exhibitions, concerts, film projections, dance shows, theatre performances, lectures, debates, recording studios and a restaurant.

There is something interesting on pretty much every day and it's not usually that expensive.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12411 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12323 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12323 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12154
The restaurant and cafe are veggie but the kind of veggie that makes you want to convert! Cinema has four screens – two in the main building and two just down the road on the edge of the beautiful park. Go for the ‘movie deal’ (cinema ticket and meal) then afterwards listen to jazz for one of the best nights out in the Lakes!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12154 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11671
The interior is spotless and well-appointed, and the domed-ceiling is a gem. They don't make them like this anymore. Check the schedules - there are usually 2 or 3 foreign (read English) language films per week.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11671 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10598
Recently merged with the Dendy group, the two create a much larger and modern cinema in the refurbished Canberra Centre- the old venue will be missed as was the centre cinema (now a nightclub).

It's a natural progression and a positive one at the very least.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10598 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10052 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10052 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9911 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9911
