The Grosvenor

I am actually so excited for going to visit this next cinema; it has been the one cinema out of all the ones in and around Glasgow that I want to check out.  It's the Grosvenor Cinema on Ashton Lane.  I pass it all the time and have always been desperate to check it out, but I have just not really gotten round to it.  Now I am finally going to get to experience it next week and I cannot wait. 

The thing that has always caught my eye with this cinema is the fact that from the outside it looks quaint and modest almost old fashioned, such a massive contrast to the other cinemas I have been too- I can't wait to experience a proper 'theatre' trip.  To me small cinemas are what I always imagined the cinema experience to be like, and I love visiting Ashton Lane it's probably one of my favourite places to go to in Glasgow.  It's the perfect place for a cinema in Glasgow's West End...

Even the Grosvenor's website gets me excited with it's old fashioned, classic feel grosvenorcafe.co.uk/cinema.php.  I like how instead of cinema listings the website has a programme of what is going to be shown it makes it feel more like a theatre than anything else - which I like.

So now here are some interesting facts about the Grosvenor on Ashton Lane:
- There are a total number of 2 screens in this cinema
- With 208 seats altogether - 104 per screen
- The cinema first opened in May 1921

- It reopened on the 28th of November 2003 to the public

I think I am going to go and see Chalet Girl imdb.com/title/tt1487118/ at this cinema as although the trailer didn't look that good Ed Westwick is in it and a few of my friends have been raving about it.  But I guess I will wait and see what is showing and what times suit… I physically cannot wait to visit this one...
