Experience the 4th dimension in entertainment! If you’ve seen Avatar in 3D imagine what it would be like if the seats moved, if water splashed at you and it suddenly began to snow. Our new film, Turtle Vision, comes with all these effects when viewed in our state of the art 4D theatre – The Screen on the Sea.

Screenings are throughout the day – tickets cost £2 for the 15 minute ride.

The effects are not suitable if you’re pregnant; suffer from epilepsy or a heart condition.

Please note that the 4th dimension includes effects that will leave you slightly damp.
