LETTER: More variety needed at ten-screen cinema
Whilst the Pomegranate genuinely offers a range of choice, often screening less mainstream films, Cineworld treats the film lovers of Chesterfield to an endless menu of Hollywood stodge.
I love films and the experience of seeing the latest releases, on the big screen. However if I want to see anything even slightly indie or less mainstream I have to decamp to Sheffield where there two independent cinemas.

A cinema with ten screens servicing a decent sized town ought to offer a more diverse choice to its patrons. If I’m travelling more than ten miles to the nearest alternative venue then so are other potential customers.
Cineworld, Chesterfield, please review your listings policy and give independent film a chance.
