Vue Cinema

A proper multiplex in the heart of Nottingham, Vue Cinema screens all the latest blockbusters and smaller releases across several screens. You'll find the usual suspects here - IMAX, premium formats, standard auditoriums - with reclining seats that actually make three hours in a cinema feel less punishing than it used to. The concession stand does what it does: overpriced popcorn, nachos, the works.

This is one for rainy afternoons or when you fancy a night out without mucking about. Families with restless kids will appreciate the variety of films on rotation, though prices creep up quickly if you're seeing a film per day of your holiday. Check their website for what's actually on when you're visiting - the programme shifts constantly.

If you're camped at one of the nearby sites - Holme Pierrepont and the Caravan Park are barely a couple of miles away - Vue makes sense as an evening option rather than a full day's activity. Don't expect to spend more than two or three hours here. The cinema's in town, so you could combine it with a wander around Nottingham's city centre, grab a meal, do the usual. Worth booking tickets online to avoid queuing, and weekday matinees are considerably less eye-watering than evening slots if you're budget-conscious. Not a destination in itself, but a handy option when the weather turns.
