WE WENT. HERE’S WHAT STOOD OUT.

Real visits. The good bits and the gripes.

CINEWORLD HULL · FAMILY VISIT

ScreenX amazed me. The £50 snack bill didn’t.

The wraparound picture impressed me, but the side screens were different colours. On my first ScreenX visit, I only learned afterwards that it should have been seamless. My account covers that problem, the seats and the £50 drinks-and-popcorn bill, with nine photographs.

SILCOCK’S SOUTHPORT · OUR VISIT

See the arcade before you make the trip

My visit covers the machines, staff and refreshments, with photographs from inside Silcock’s. See the difference between the family arcade and adult gaming area, and why I gave the visit 4.7/5.

PIZZA PARLOUR · GRIMSBY

The kebab calzone was the one for me

Our Saturday-night takeaway review covers what we ordered, why the kebab calzone stood out and my 4.8/5 verdict. Recorded offers and prices belong to that visit; read the account before choosing your order.

CHOOSE BY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO

Big coasters, family rides or a castle headland?

Thorpe Park, Chertsey: a choice for major thrill rides. Hyperia has a 1.3m minimum height; other rides have their own restrictions. Compare the ride list with your group’s heights before booking.

Scarborough Castle: history and coast on the headland between two bays. Explore the Great Tower, viewing platforms and Roman signal-station remains. Choose it for the setting and history, rather than rides.

Pleasure Beach Resort, Blackpool: big coasters alongside Nickelodeon Land’s family rides. Compare the rides your group can use and the ticket coverage with Thorpe Park’s offer.

Research: Thorpe Park, English Heritage, Pleasure Beach · checked 27 October 2026. Open a guide below.
