Really good value staff are really friendly and the seats really comfy, cinemas are quite small so try and sit nearer the back.

I was there with my kids to see the legend of tarzan .first time there i am not realy impressed. The screen is too close to the seats . Next time i will get as back as possible. What i found unacceptable is how dirty the corridors ware and how much understaffed the plece was.I will go there again and i hope things will be better. It's a great addition to walsall and we must support places like this.

The Light Cinema is most definitely a place to visit. The actual cinema is very well maintained, prices are good and the staff are fab.
My daughter had an accident tonight on the escalator (lost her balance) and all the staff that came to us were very professional. A big thank you to the young man (don't know his name) who came to my daughters rescue and pulled her from the escalator.
Can't fault the service, experience or support & care that the staff showed us. The Manager was lovely and gave my daughter & her fiancé some complimentary nachos & a drink. We filled in an Accident Form before we left. Keep up the good work !!
Will be returning soon

Gorgeous new cinema, it's very modern, very clean & exceptionally comfortable in comparison to other cinemas; I know that this is probably all due to how new this is but I would definitely recommend a visit here rather than to other local cinemas. One of the only issues is that you have to pay for parking when visiting here, great cinema though!

Great addition to Walsall town center. needed this for years as the local Showcase is now very dated and hard to get to if you have limited transport . spacious, very helpfull friendly staff, very clean and nicely designed. Great sound and seats arranged into tiers so everyone will have a good view. Plenty of nearby places to eat and drink if you don't want to inside the cinema. pleasent surprize you could buy alcohol and take it with you.very very impressed. Customers out first for once.

As an avid cinema goer, I was expected the same old average cinema. The layout and decor was absolutely wonderful, very welcoming and different to anything I have seen before. The £5 ticket price before noon was another added surprise. Seats were extremely comfortable and roomy, good sound and huge screen, all excellent. The only negatives I found was that there was no loo roll in the ladies and no handwash either but the toilets were clean. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

Delightful experience - much better than the biggger soulless multiplexes. Lovely customer service from Morag - how clever to only have to queue once to get tickets and drinks. Choose your own seats - free refill before film ends of softdrinks.
Roomy comforatable seats, enough rake to see over the heads of the people below, plenty of space, and a reasonable price (£22.70 incl wine/giant coke)
But the BEST thing is there is soap, hot water, working driers and toilet paper in the ladies. All at the same time - first time for a long time I've been to a big screen where that happens.
Also plenty of places for a meal before or drink afterwards.

Once the cinema opened i took my nephew to see a movie. We all loved it. The staff were great. The place was wonderful. We pre-booked out seats which was great. But I can see a problem with this. When you go to your seats its up to you to tell others to move and if they don't believe you it could cause problems if they will not move. But other than that it was a good time for all.

This place is easily accessible to Walsall town Center and a variety of restaurants all in walking distance
The cinema is clean very very very comfy loads of leg space for lanky people like myself my little kids loved it was like home from home with small tables to use for their popcorn and drinks etc they also loved not being folded up into the chairs.
The staff are welcoming and amazingly friendly and helpful at all times
The cinema is licensed to alcohol bit of a bonus never known that before, it also offers £5 shows before midday and offers more than just films xx

Nice little cinema, the screens are good and the seating comfortable (two of the three main things required for a trip to 'the pictures') unfortunately the food lets it down overpriced and not that good, the nacho sauce is just not right!
In an ultra competitive market surely someone should be prepared to cut their margins to about500% and provide good value and tasty food?

We decided to go to this cinema after seeing a "£5 ticket" offer through social media. We pre-booked online for the Jungle Book, and thought because it was pre-selected seats, all would be great when we arrived.
The foyer to the cinema is quite small, but as it wasn't a particularly busy period of the day, we didn't notice it cramped. I imagine it can feel quite claustrophobic if it a very busy film or a premier showing. Took a while to be served at the concessions stand, and then found there were many items not available. We were told which screen to go to and made our way in. The auditorium was quite grand, with tiered seating and a huge screen. we had a slight problem with our seats, as the pre-booked ones were occupied by a few children. As there were plenty of seats, we sat elsewhere, but found this caused a slight problem later on with other people who had also pre-booked. Maybe a steward is needed to ensure all people know what seats they are in, if pre-booked.
The picture was excellent, really clear and crisp. Surround sound was excellent, ensuring you felt submerged within the film itself. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, despite not going to the cinema since this time, I would go there again and would definitely recommend it to others

Recently visited with my partner to watch the second installment of the Captain America franchise on a Saturday night. I had heard good things about the light cinema, and can say that I was definitely not disappointed.
CINEMA...
First impressions were very good. The lobby looked nice and modern, and immaculately clean. There is a pub just inside, can't remember the name, but once we had enquired about our tickets we sat in here. We were informed that you could take beers etc, into the cinema with you which was a bonus. The guy working the front was helpful with sorting our tickets as they were sent as an e-ticket.
SCREEN...
The screen itself was probably the best i've been to in a good while. A fair bit smaller than others, less seating, and felt alot more ambient and chilled. The seats...excellent. Biggest issue for me on a cinema outing is usually the seating as I suffer with lower back issues, but happy to say that I sat for atleast 2 hours without any back ache (this is unheard of for me). Also, the seats have wine glass and beer holders in between them, great touch. Apart from a pair of idiots making porn noises during quiet spells, especially as there were children in there, couldn't fault anything.
PRICES...
By far the cheapest cinema around, and by far the best. Value for money is excellent! Beers wise, about the same as you would pay in a decent pub anywhere in the area so no issues there. The sweets and snacks are expensive, as all cinemas are, but unless you have lived in a cave your whole life you will already know this.
Overall, I had a great night out and will definitely be returning.

We were recommended this cinema and the Walsall waterfront as an alternative to Star City, which we really disliked last time we went.
The cinema is fairly small, with a friendly, independent feel. The seats were really comfortable although because we were late getting in we had to sit a little too close to the front. Picture was fine and sound was good, although I would need to see a proper action movie to really judge.
I think if you arrived early or pre-booked seats this is a great cinema, if only for the comfy seats. All screens are licenced so you can take beer or wine in with you and the seats even have little glass holders.
Only other niggle was the popcorn which was a little stale but that aside, we will go again.

I visited here with a friend the staff her friendly and helpful i found the place to be reasonably priced and well laid out ive been a few times and not once have i had a bad experience

This cinema is well designed and comfortable. It is a welcome addition to Walsall, having gone so long without a decent cinema. I have avoided the Showcase cinema for years, it lost its appeal a long time ago, so The Light Cinema conveniently located in the town centre is brilliant. I would definitely recommend buying tickets online beforehand, as it is much more expensive at the till. Also, if arriving after 6pm park in the car park across the road as its free.

Finally got to visit this new cinema. Went mid-week mid afternoon so understandably not many other people there - which is fine by me. Must say it is a credit to the town, really good comfy seats and helpful staff. Just hope that the auditoriums are kept clean in the future unlike some other local cinemas where the seats and floor coverings are dirty. Good value - will definitely go again.

At last we have a decent cinema in Walsall town centre. We have needed this for a long time. The place itself is amazing. Wonderful comfortable seats. Arranged in tiers so that no head is blocking your view. There is a bar downstairs so you can have a drink beforehand or take them to your seats...which have glass holders . It's a good experience and it's not expensive.

Watched secret life of pets with 6 of us and cinema great,seats comfortable,cheaper than other cinemas but only prob is most seats had been reserved on line so my friends turned away even though empty seats throughout the film, also we had meerkat movie vouchers which you can only redeem at food outlets so by the time we got through the queues, only 6 seats in a row left even though we was 30 mins early,will def prebooked nxt time

Visited on a Sunday afternoon.
Purchased our tickets prior to going for food, avoided queues before the movie and also allowed us to have the pick of the seats. You can select your seat when you book your tickets.
Screens were clean and modern. Booster cushions available for the younger guests.
What impressed me the most was the prices. The tickets were far cheaper than bigger cinema brands. Also the refreshments were reasonably priced too. Plus we purchased a large popcorn which we could refill for free during the movie or on the way out.
We'll be back!
