An excellent venue. A great place to meet for food, coffee, a few jars of ale or to watch a decent film. Blockbuster movies, subtitled films, and occasions older films such as Alien 1, Terminator. You can take your beer in with you to watch the movie. They also do specialised showings for people with disabilities or sensory issues. Where they leave half the seats empty, have the lights on dim and use subtitles. Cannot fault it.

What a lovely local cinema ! So friendly and tidy, it’s a cosy cinema with a really great atmosphere! Especially films you wouldn’t get to watch in Chain Cinemas ! Here I was able to watch Aftersun and Past Lives which were fantastic! Yet to try the cafe but for sure shall be checking it out

The staff at watershed are phenomenal. They couldn’t have done more to make us feel more comfortable, attended to and anxiety free. A group of friends, one of which was in a wheelchair, and I came in yesterday and the tall young man with brown curly hair was the ideal person for representing watershed. Thank you guys so much.

Quiet place to have a heart to heart meeting with a friend or a get-to-know-you date. Good service, friendly staff and atmosphere. Brilliant cinema with opportunities to see films that otherwise you wouldn't see. I absolutely love being in this place !

I went to the cinema to watch barbie, and the whole experience was great! So we got there and my friend had chosen tickets at the desk. Very friendly staff helped us out and when we went to the bar, helpful staff once again helped with deciding on a nice cider for the film! The entrance to the cinema is by qr code scanner, but they could do with 2 scanners so people can get in easier. Other than that, I have no complaints at all!

Intimate and friendly cinema experience, with great deals if 24 and under. Get there early for your viewing as the unreserved seating can be a bit chaotic. The cafe is lovely though, and Amy gave us great service!

I can't sing the Watershed's praises enough. I love spending time there. Absolutely fantastic staff (and a really lovely security guard). The movies offer an interesting selection. I like that they have gender neutral loos, and low alcohol beer on tap. It's a nice and welcoming space to sit and read alone, or spend time with friends (though I find it hard to hear when it's busy there is some outdoor seating). They serve food, but I don't know much about that. Always looks tasty when I see it wafting past though!
