agreed. We went during the week and ended up paying £6 parking, ridiculous. Whoever manages that site is insane - im surprised the retailers are not all up in arms over it.

Harlow is a 'no brainer' for me, shorter drive and park right outside for free!

I believe the parking used to be free some years ago. But perhaps it is attracting a higher footfall and so the owners feel able to charge for the parking. There are other things to keep the cost down........like never paying for a premier seat......there is often some free just before the film starts........and take your own drink or sweets for the kids if they want one. I used to get the botteld water from the machine just outside the cinema entrance but found it was somewhat 'conveniently' broken a lot of the time. there's another machine in the Galleria or just take your own.

I prefer Stevenage but not entirely sure why. I know it does have free parking and it sells popcorn which is the most overpriced product in the world but I just love it. Almost tempted to go and buy it without going to see a film which is sad.

Gave up on Stevenage when we had tickets booked to see a movie but spent so long trying to find a parking spot we missed the start of the film. Went to the pub instead.

The Galleria is much closer for me too. I think it's about nine minutes away. And Stevenage is a train journey away. The good thing about Stevenage is that children get the train straight there from Hertford North.
