Cineworld have recently started adding the screen number as additional information in the booking process. This is pretty handy, especially where a film is on more than one screen. But what they haven't done (AFAICT) is publish the layouts of their cinemas, so the option to choose between screens is limited to geeks like me that know the layouts already.

So... let's share the information for the benefit of all.

v. small < 100 seats in non-stadium format
small - small screen in stadium format
medium - 100-200 seats
large - 200-300 seats
huge - 300+ seats

    WIQ has two stories, with increasing screen sizes on each level.

    1st Floor: Screens 1-5, ascending small to huge

    3rd Floor: Screens 6-10, ascending small to huge (Screen 6 is a more spacious screening room layout).

    Rochester has two wings, with odd-numbered screens on one side, even numbered on the other, and the large screen 1 between them.

    A Wing: Screens 2, 4, 6 & 8, descending large to v.small (screen 8 has a split level layout, with poor visibility from the table/chair ground floor layout, big comfy seats, though)

    B Wing: Screens 3, 5, 7 & 9, descending large to small

    Screen 1: huge

    Screen 3, 4, 9, 10: S
    Screen 5, 8 : M

    Screen 11: M

    This is a classic old Victorian cinema. There are 3 screens. Screen 1 is the main old-style auditorium, Screens 2 & 3 are down in the basement.

    Screen 1: L
    Screen 2: M - this screen has an awkward layout, and the projection screen is at an angle to the main part of the auditorium.
    Screen 3: M

    If you go on the Cineworld venue hire website it will tell you the number of seats in each screen.
