"Attended the small Storyhouse Cinema to watch a film. Storyhouse is located in the historic heart of medieval Chester within the city walls, off Northgate Street just past the Cathedral. The enclosed cinema is located on the upper floor and is accessible by lift and stairs. The place is very clean, warm and new looking. There is a restaurant on the ground floor with the ticket machines (x3), as there is no box office. You can wait for your film to start downstairs in the restaurant seating. You have to pay by card chip and pin contactless and get the receipt out of the machine as your ticket. You can select your seats from the diagram on the display screen. Your ticket and seat number is then checked as you go into the cinema door. Not many places you can give a five star review to, but I cannot fault it."
"Love the library, the library staff are lovely , haven’t really been to the cinema( yet) but the guy at the entrance, I’m guessing was security, was just shocking. As I was walking in today I get shouted at as apparently my bag needs to be checked. Fair enough but There are other ways to inform me of that other than shouting at me. Even after I immediately follow the instructions I just got dismissed. No sorry no nothing"
"Visited on Saturday 28th may to watch the new Tim Firth play 'now is good'. Excellent cast and great play. Made me quite emotional, as well as it being funny. I asked at the bar if i could pass on my comments about how good it was and the young lady pointed me towards a gent at the end of the bar, Tim Firth. He was very gracious and polite. The storyhouse is s wonderful little theatre, very friendly and accessible. It wasn't a full house that night( due to the uefa champions league match) but the cast played as if to a full house. Staff are always helpful, amenities are always clean. Recommend both storyhouse and the play 'now is good)."
"One of Chester's highlights. Used to be an Odeon cinema which closed. Transformed into so much more now... Theatre, food, bar, library and more. Visited on many occasions, never been disappointed."
"Brilliant community hub in Chester. It's got a cinema, theatre, library and cafe inside the one building. It used to be the old Odeon Cinema and it's good to see it breathing life once again. I just popped in for a meal and local craft beer, ended up chilling out here for over an hour."
