Light Cinema Walsall
Latest Reviews
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.

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!

Went with family and took small children to watch a Film. Customer service was friendly and efficient. The cinema is ideal for younger children as the backs of the chairs are low and the cinema has a steep incline so no heads in front of them. So they can sit in comfort without booster seats. Will definitely me returning

I visited the new Light Cinema in Walsall for the first time today. I went to see the new X Men film and as the showing was before midday my ticket cost just £5 online and without any additional fees for booking online - Brilliant!!
The cinema staff were all very friendly, the cinema was very clean the popcorn prices were very reasonable (cheaper than the local Showcase & Cineworld cinemas and the popcorn tasted better too!). The seating in the cinema is very comfortable with a holder for your drink, a little table and even holders for wine glasses!
I shall definitely return and I'm thinking of signing up for the Infinity card.

"A cinema experience" cry the adverts for this place. Sadly, apart from the ability to take in a glass of wine and have it held by the holders attached to the seats, it's hard to see what differentiates this from a standard Odeon or UCI. It's also very irritating to be forced to buy tickets from the food counter - a method guaranteed to take longer and force unnecessary queues to form.

Tried this cinema out as it is slightly closer to home than The Showcase and new. £5 tickets when booked online which is super cheap compared to most cinemas. Tiered seating so view is not restricted in any seat, lots of leg room and a table/cup holder next to each seat! Definitely using this as our regular cinema and can't recommend it enough to others.

We have been here numerous times since it opened. The staff are really helpful and chatty, we really feel like we have had personal service. The screens are nice and big, comfy seats and the sound system is excellent too. We visited twice in the first week and have now got our 'Infinity' cards which are being well used.
Well worth a visit!

Visited this venue on Friday night with a friend to watch Captain America. It was my first time here so wasn't sure what to expect.
We had pre booked tickets online prior to attending for £5. A bargain I thought for a prime Friday night slot. On arrival collected our tickets from the machine which was very swift and joined the que for confectionary.
The que was as to be expected for a Friday night but moved relatively quickly. We selected an offer for £12, which included a large popcorn, 2 regular drinks and a bag of sweets. Quite good value for money I though considering a regular drink and medium popcorn was on offer for £6.60.
We located our screen upstairs which was accessed via an esculator. The screen although not huge was adequately sized with 10 rows. The chairs were very comfortable and had drink holders and trays to put stuff on which made it easier to share items. Better than local cinemas in the area. An added bonus if desired is that all screens are fully licensed so you can purchase alcohol to drink whilst watching your film.
The screen itself seemed to show a good picture, maybe not quite as sharp as some places but if your not that fussed about picture quality this is definitely a good find.
I would highly recommend this place and hope that in time it doesn't loose it's shine with its plush interiors.

Seen this online and thought ..not too far away and £5 a ticket if bought online for Saturday night, give it a try.
Right across from Crown Wharf , a brand new cinema complex, waterfront bars and restaurants, the cinema itself looks bland on the outside but don't be fooled... It is so welcoming and atmospheric inside, there's a lovely bar and all screens are licenced with wine glass holders by your seat, which is very comfy with extra leg room and , I think, steeper sloping as I never once had a head in my view, which I usually get.
We were in screen 5 which was quite cozy but still felt grand. From what I could tell there are special viewings got kids and oaps. Will be our regular cinema from now on even though we paid £4 in the car park we still saved £16 on 4 tickets so well worth it .

The cinema is cool and clean! Prices are cheap if you book online at £5 per head I think it's the cheapest Cinema in Walsall. The chairs are more comfy than any other cinema i have visited in the area! Screen was very clear as well as the sound! Ten out of Ten!
