Visit the Empire Cinema
Our wonderful, 103-year old cinema keeps up with the changes and has modern, air-conditioned facilities and a kiosk that serves ice-cold drinks. It’s the perfect place to hide out of the summer sun with the family and enjoy a range of up-to-the-minute movies across one of their many screening rooms.
Take a dip
A splash in a refreshing swimming pool offers a chance to cool off, burn off some energy and get refreshed. Many villages and town boast top-notch swimming pools. See page 9 for details.
