The Savoy cinema, situated in Lenton, the student area of Nottingham, is perfect for a cheap night out. Unlike all the ultra-modern, (and ultra-expensive) multiplex cinemas, the Savoy has retained the 'traditional' feel - big red velvet chairs (some fine, others have a spring or two out of place..!), and the big red curtains in some screens which are drawn back before the start of the film.

The Savoy cinema, situated in Lenton, the student area of Nottingham, is perfect for a cheap night out. Unlike all the ultra-modern, (and ultra-expensive) multiplex cinemas, the Savoy has retained the 'traditional' feel - big red velvet chairs (some fine, others have a spring or two out of place..!), and the big red curtains in some screens which are drawn back before the start of the film.
Whilst the screens are not all huge, nor are the furnishings particularly new, you get what you pay for. The tickets are quite a bit cheaper than those at the major cinemas, and the savings are particularly felt when buying the popcorn/drinks/confectionary. Although they don't show every film, nor do they have the wide selection of timings, they generally have a fairly good selection available.
In all, the Savoy cinema is definitely worth a visit, as long as your expectations aren't too high! It is perfect for students, both with its prices and its location. As it is situated just outside town, there are no issues with traffic, and you don't have to pay the prices of parking your car in the multi-storeys. Although it may not be the best quality for viewing films with lots of special effects, your everyday comedy/rom-com etc is fine. Worth a visit for those wanting to save a bit of money, or who want the convenience of a nearby, traditional cinema.

Following what seems to be a national trend, Nottingham now only has one small cinema showing the latest releases (The Savoy on Derby Road). To watch an up to date movie you have two choices. You can go to the new WARNER VILLAGE complex in the city centre or to the SHOWCASE out at Clifton. Small budget and foreign films are shown at the BROADWAY MEDIA CENTRE, again in the city centre.
For theatre goers there?s the old THEATRE ROYAL with it?s white pillared exterior and multi-tiered plush interior, the PLAYHOUSE which is a far more modern building and the LACE MARKET THEATRE which shows modern and contemporary dramas.
There are three primary concert venues in the city. The oldest is the ALBERT HALL with its old ...
