Grosvenor Cinema

The Grosvenor is an independant cinema in the West End of Glasgow. They have two small 100-seat screening rooms where they show new films along with classics and theatre shows. They recently had a refurbishment and there is a connected bar with food and drinks.

What is their USP?

It is the only cinema in Glasgow’s West End, and screens both old and new films.

What does it feel like inside?

Reviews for the cinema are varied, many mentioning bad noise-cancelling and overpriced tickets. Therefore it does not seem to be catered to students, although does feel quite secret and intimate as it is hidden in the West End.

Pros:

- Intimate screening rooms

- Space to socialise in the cafe, and close to lots of bars in the West End

Cons:

- Higher priced, so not ideal for students

- Soundproofing could be improved

I chose to conduct a survey to find out more about why people watch film. I was interested in what motivates people to watch film, and what they enjoy about the experience. I wanted to find out why people choose to go to the cinema, and was intrigued to know what memories people have of their first visit to the cinema.
