New Park Centre Cinema.

The New Park Centre Cinema is Chichester's main picture house, sitting right in the town centre where you can catch the latest releases without trekking to a multiplex. It's a proper local cinema - the sort of place that gets packed on Friday nights and where staff actually know regular punters by name. You'll find the usual mix of blockbusters, family films, and the occasional art-house offering that wouldn't make it to your nearest Odeon.

It's ideal if you're staying at Chichester Lakeside Holiday Park or any of the campsites dotted around Bognor Regis way (Butlins is just 5.6 miles down the road, which tells you something about the holiday traffic in this corner of West Sussex). A rainy afternoon? This beats sitting in a caravan watching the drizzle. Families with kids will appreciate having a proper entertainment option that doesn't involve yet another visit to a theme park or beach.

Go on a weekday matinee if you can - quieter, often cheaper, and you'll actually hear the dialogue. Evenings get rammed with the school and office crowd. The venue itself is comfortable enough, nothing fancy, but it does the job. Grab a coffee from the foyer cafe beforehand. Allow two hours all in - trailers, adverts, the film itself. Check their website for current listings and ticket prices before you go, as these vary week to week.
