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.
