Parking in the city costs eight bucks if you're after a convenient cinema park. Parking at the Lido means a long walk, and for some reason it's always raining. Seeing a film anywhere else involves a long drive, but St Lukes is free and the parking is a dream (except the week before Xmas).

great cinema and loads of parking.  

Good movies and entertainment place with good facilities good for the kids With gaming area.

we like the 3d movies and the kids club and ice cream

I always get really great service and nice specials.

We come here often but the seats and the general condition of the theaters could do with an upgrade. The seats are dirty except for VMAX. Please change the seat covers or something and this will be an excellent location.........

It's the lack of parking which puts friends off meeting me at the EVENT in town. At St Lukes there is plenty of free parking available to cinema goers and shoppers so this issue goes away. The cinema is also in good condition and the good seats at the  recent releases don't sell out as quick as those in town.

St Lukes is probably my favourite cinema to go to. I like that there’s parking available right outside so there’s minimum trudge factor. I like the friendly staff who let me pick my seats and organise my frozen coke. I like the huge red seats, and the classy ‘theatre style’ curtains and carpets in the cinema. I like the massive sound systems that creates sonic walls all around you and I love their huge crystal clear movie screens! If you think that your 60 inch screen at home is all the movie real estate you’ll ever need; drop by St Lykes and rediscover some of the magic of the movies!

St Lukes Event cinemas is our regular haunt for seeing movies. We take the kids every school holidays to at least 1 or 2 kids movies. Then we go to a grown-up one from time to time to keep us sane.  The theatres are a good size with very comfy seats. No big hair in front of your view here. There's arm rests and drink holders too. Being in St Lukes we can pop to the food hall first (don't tell them but we usually sneak our Mcdonalds in here) then top up on popcorn and ice creams from the extensive snack bar.  They always have the latest movies and we love coming to this theatre as part of our rainy day plan in the holidays. I feel so comfortable here.
