Vue Cinema Manchester - Quayside

Vue Manchester Quayside sits inside The Lowry Outlet Mall on Salford Quays and is part of the Media City UK area. It has 7 screens with 616 seats across two tiers: Lux reclining leather seats with a foldaway table, and the larger Ultra Lux option with wider seats, independent back and leg recline, and a personal table. Picture quality runs to 4K, and sound is Dolby Surround throughout.

The programme covers all the mainstream new releases in 2D and 3D, plus Big Screen Events that bring concerts, sport, opera, dance, and theatre performances to the big screen. For families specifically, keep an eye out for Mighty Mornings and Big Shorts kids' screenings, and if you have a Meerkat Movies code you can use it here for 2-for-1 tickets.

The venue is open from 10am on weekdays and 9am at weekends, running through to midnight each night, so there's plenty of flexibility around school pick-up times and weekend plans. Food and drink is available in the foyer, and while the prices are on the higher side, the bundle deals make things a bit more manageable.

Accessibility is well covered, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance, toilets, and seating, plus autism-friendly screenings available. Assistance dogs are welcome in all screens.
