A New Cinema Experience<br />
Surely not another one?!<br />
Yet another cinema has<br />
opened its doors here in<br />
Sheffield, but what makes<br />
this one so different?<br />
The Light Cinema Experience<br />
opened a couple of months ago as<br />
part of The Moor redevelopment.<br />
As the UK’s fastest growing<br />
cinema operator, we hope to bring<br />
back the hustle and bustle the area<br />
saw many years ago.<br />
The nine-screen, state-ofthe-art<br />
venue offers all the<br />
usual blockbusters as well as<br />
independent films and the latest<br />
live productions from the world of<br />
theatre, ballet, opera and music.<br />
Its Green Room café bar also<br />
serves local products such as Our<br />
Cow Molly ice-cream, True North<br />
ale and gin and Kelham Island<br />
beer. It’s the perfect place to grab<br />
a drink after work, meet friends for<br />
a cocktail or grab a fresh baristamade<br />
coffee on your lunch break.<br />
You can take all your food and<br />
drink into the film with you. This<br />
is great if you want to make the<br />
most of The Light’s speciality food<br />
offerings including gourmet hot<br />
dogs, handmade waffles and local<br />
bakery products.<br />
The seats inside the auditoriums<br />
were specially designed for The<br />
Light Sheffield and offer maximum<br />
comfort by having the ability to<br />
recline. They also have tables<br />
attached so you can have all your<br />
cinema essentials right at hand,<br />
whilst having plenty of leg room for<br />
you to stretch out and relax.<br />
The VIP experience continues<br />
with the friendly team who<br />
personally introduce all the films<br />
and are at hand to answer any<br />
questions guests may have. Be<br />
warned some of their introductions<br />
have been known to be gatecrashed<br />
by characters from the<br />
films themselves, with Captain<br />
Jack Sparrow causing havoc at the<br />
release of the most recent Pirates<br />
of the Caribbean film.<br />
With the local area very much at<br />
its heart, the cinema hosts many<br />
events for the community. Doc/<br />
Fest saw the cinema host 44 of<br />
its screenings and sponsor 400 of<br />
their volunteers. The cinema also<br />
supports charities, schools and<br />
other good causes.<br />
The Light already offers subtitled<br />
and audio-described films and will<br />
soon introduce dementia, autism<br />
and baby-friendly screenings.<br />
Free online mylight membership<br />
allows guests to get cheaper<br />
tickets as well as all the latest<br />
news and offers. There are<br />
discounts for students, the elderly<br />
and members of the armed forces/<br />
emergency services with a Blue<br />
Light Card or equivalent. The<br />
cinema also accepts the CEA card<br />
permitting disabled holders to have<br />
a carer accompany them for free.<br />
The Light’s paid for monthly<br />
INFINITY card allows holders to<br />
see as many films as they’d like<br />
and gives access to exclusive<br />
screenings, events and a 25%<br />
discount on food and drink. Find<br />
