Cineworld Castleford

Cineworld itself is always good /​clean. New website is terrible real pain booking online (sept 2015) and prices of sweets /​drinks etc typical to all cinemas is a massive rip off!

A pleasant modern Cineworld. Relatively comfy seating, lots of choice of movies 2D, 3D & IMAX. Plenty of Parking located conveniently just off the motorway in the local XScape complex.
Although Cineworld as a company have let themselves down big time lately by removing the online booking incentive and instating seat reservations over their former option of free seating that almost all customers and staff loved. The staff here go out of their way to help and get you into the movie in an area you want to be.
They have a well stocked if the usual over priced concession area although this is made better if you have a Premium unlimited card.
If only Cineworld as a company would listen to their customers and fix the problems they have created.

Good size, fairly easy to get to with vast parking and a train station near by — Glasshoughton.
Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby while you wait for friends or after the film. A few of them do 2 4 1 or half price with a cinema ticket on Wednesdays so a real bargain if you have orange.
The screen sizes are all pretty good and its always been clean when I have been.

Service at this cinema is good especially as it is located near a bus stop and you can easily get to it without much hassle if u live locally.

Cineworld has the right idea, the knock money off for onlinr bookings and you can sit where you want, unlike those faschists at the Vue who make you sit in pre-​allocated seats, usually next to some idiot who spends £8 to sit and play with their phone, they usuall stop tho when asked or accidentally elbowed

I went to the cinema (cineworld) on my recent visit to xscape. Nice big cinema, it wasn’t very busy which was nice. Prices were reasonable. It;s a bit far away so I wouldn’t go unless I happened to be at Xscape anyway.

Cineworld in Castleford is actually part of the Xscape complex which comprises shops, restaurants, an indoor ski slope and a bowling alley and amusement arcade. The cinema is upstairs up an escalator but there is a lift if you need one. It has plenty of choice in terms of movies and has all the regular amenities you would expect of the cinema, with clean loos, a snack bar and a small amusement area. The only issue for me is the price, it is no longer a cheap night out anymore and for even a couple going to the cinema, you could actually buy two DVDs! Yes, it’s now £13 for two people, minus any food or drink. Shocking. A rare treat. One good thing is parking is free.

This isn’t our closest multiplex, but it’s the one we go to more often because of the other entertainment on offer at the complex.
CineWorld Castleford is part of the Xscape complex which offers indoor ski-​ing and ice skating as well as a wealth of good dining options.
This is a great place for dinner and a movie. We love Chiquitos and Frankie and Bennies, but often we’ll just grab a Starbucks coffee (which the staff always let us take into the cinema, despite the rule that says you can only take in Cineworld food and drink)
Plus, the management is very helpful — they once misadvertised a film that we’d gone to see, but wasn’t on. Instead they offered us a free screening of any film plus a voucher to see our film for free when it was finally screened.

We like this cinema, part of the Xscape complex, so plenty of places for a drink or a meal too. We especially like the Kids Club on Saturday mornings, £1 a ticket & a choice of 4 different family movies. Popcorn & drinks expensive as you expect from a cinema.

This cinema is part of the Xscape complex in Castleford, which houses loads of different activities.
The cinema has multiple screens, so you get a good range. The cinema screens are well-​sized and the chairs are pretty comfortable. As with all these big cinemas the snacks are overpriced and oversized, so a small popcorn is enormous and only slightly cheaper than the large. Unnecessary, I think, as i do like to have something to snack on, but don’t need giant-​sized products.
It’s a good place to go to the cinema, though, as you can easily make an evening of it and visit one of the restaurants in the complex

Cineworld Cinema complex is situated up stairs in the Xscape building on Colorado Way, Castleford. There is a really large free car park on the site with ample Mother and toddler and disabled parking.
The Xscape building is dedicated to leisure from the cinema to skiing, bowling and fashion and sporting wearand that’s not even mentioning the places to eat! The cinema has been opened 5 years now, and recently celebrated their 5^th birthday. I took my children to the Saturday cinema that day and we were all given movie goody bags, which were really good and very generous. Like most cinemas there are multiple screens, the seats are standard although you can upgrade and go posh upstairs where you will find the bar. They serve pop corn, snacks and drinks and like most cinemas overcharge for them! But i have to admit what i really like about Cineworld is the amount of film with subtitles unlike others and the Saturday cinema which we take full advantage of most weeks. When the new children’s films are released it only takes about 8 weeks, sometimes less for them to hit Saturday cinema. There are usually 3 Saturday cinema films so its really unusual not to get seats for one of them.
The staff are friendly too!

The cinema is conveniently located on the first floor of the Xscape complex just off Junction 32. There are the usual cheap Tuesdays and Kids’ films on the Saturday morning. They have the newest films displayed on their 14 screen cinema with free parking which is quite useful if you want to take the kids out.
