You can tell us more about Halifax.

Cinemas
  • There were many cinemas in and around fax once. The Astra (colliseum club now) ABC (jaks now) Electric (bowling alley now), Victoria (now Victoria theatre)were 4 on wards end alone. Now there aint any. New multiplex opening soon?? but the old ones had real character.

  • we dont have one they switched it to jumping jaks :{
  • huddersfields is the best cinama to be in
  • we had one but now its a really bad club....jumpin jaks, eugh!!
  • Bradford Imax or Huddersfield multiplex for films. Elland and Hebden Bridge have nice little dinky cinemas. Halifax doesn't have one. How daft. It's now Jumping Jack's Nightclub. :-(
  • there int any in halifax
  • all we have is the rex which is old n small so have to go to huddersfield
  • Alas, there is no cinema here but the Playhouse puts on interesting films once a month on a sunday night. It's a lovely little venue which needs supporting. Very cheap.
  • No cinema now. UCI is the closest.
  • heylo...as you know, there are no cinemas in Halifax nemore...just to let you no...hudds is no longer the place to go...the new place is bradford, its rite by the train station and cheaper thn hudds so ther u go...now u no.....wow i rhyme!

  • no cinemas ne more cineworld bradford or hudds uci
  • we dont have a cinema in halifax? it is now another bloody nightclub? great just what we needed!.
  • what! there isn't even a cinema here anymore. even wen it was here is was quite crap.

  • none existant go 2 huddersfield uci instead
  • ABC has been knocked down! Hurraaayyy!! A new club!!!! Could go to Rex in Elland but best off goin 2 Huddersfield

  • The ABC is due to be turned into YET ANOTHER club, leaving Halifax with no Cinema. Hebden Bridge has the Picture House, but its the stereo-typical independent one - great for an evening out, but not for watching a new film that you want to see.
