The Luxe is an award-winning single screen cinema in the heart of the historic town of Wisbech, Cambridgeshire and has recently seen a large investment in equipment and furnishings to ensure that the stellar reputation continues to spread. The cinema is situated within the former Women’s Institute Hall on Alexandra Road, and opened on Saturday 14th March 2009. Since then we have been listed in the Top Ten Independent Cinemas within the UK (alongside many of our Picturedrome Cinemas sister sites), been presented awards by Wisbech Town Council and the Wisbech Lions. 

We host the best and brightest of film past and present with regular Event Cinema screenings - such as Ballet, Opera, Dance, Music and Theatre. We love film and when possible we also screen classic films - with appropriate era trailers - and host Q&A sessions with actors, writers and directors (either live on our stage or via Zoom). We also host live music acts, stand-up comedians and even a magic show - on our stage!

There are seats for up to seventy-eight visitors as well as two wheelchair spaces that can accommodate larger, reclined wheelchairs with easier access and and increased turning circle. The rear of the auditorium is made up of three rows of twin sofas for a cosy visit. 

Rows G and H seat up to two guests (we can allow babies up to 18 months of age to sit on a parent/carer's lap on sofa seating - but only up to two paying guests over the age of 18 months can be seated on our sofas) with little table trays and cushions. 

Row I is our Premier Row with four booth style sofas - each with their own table. This row has more legroom than our standard sofa rows as well as a Text Waiter Service. When arriving, ask the team for the Prem Number and you can text an order during your movie which will be brought to you in your seat. At the end of the film, simply pop down to the Box Office and the team will take payment. 

The interior of the auditorium offers a comforable and welcoming atmosphere, where you can cosy up and relax on either a deluxe seat or a twin sofa to watch films in the utmost comfort. Alongside the comfort comes top notch visuals (Phosphor Laser Projection) and sound (Dolby 7.1 via JML Speakers).

As we try to keep costs down we do not allow outside food or drink into the cinema and politely request that guests respect this.

If the Luxe Team do find you have brought food/drink in, we may ask for you to return your outside food to your vehicle, or keep it behind the bar for collection when leaving your film. Refusal to follow these instructions will result in being asked to leave. 

Viewing a film at the Luxe is an experience unlike anything you’ve had at a multiplex, you truly are our guests.

Somers Road car park is the next nearest, with a passageway from it to Alexandra Road being the most direct route from the car park to the cinema.

Cycle Racks are available at the front of the cinema covered by CCTV at all times. Please Note: The Management Accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage caused to bicycles left here.

SUSTAINABILITY (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

 We are constantly trying to reduce our environmental impact at the Luxe Cinema and have taken many steps to reduce our energy usage over recent years, including replacing our projection system and lighting with lower energy alternatives. 

Currently around 90% of our bar/kiosk products are sold in recyclable or compostable packaging.

We ask guests to please bring glass bottles and plastic cups back to the bar after a screening so that we can increase the amount that we recycle and avoid landfill. 

Print Schedules are available on-site in a print-on-demand system - reducing waste when schedules change. To request a seven day schedule, details for a specific title or a list of upcoming Event Cinema screenings, simply speak to the Box Office team.
