The Now Thats What I Call Gay Cinema! Quiz will take place in Genesis Cinema’s Bar Paragon.
Bar Paragon has a mix of booth seating, smaller chairs without arm support and wider chairs with arm support as well as sofas. The seating in bar paragon will be reserved for those taking part in the quiz, but the bar will remain open to other customers for drinks orders.

For customers unable to use the stairs, the Genesis Cinema has a stair climber (max load 150kg) which a manager will be able to operate. There is a spare chair in case you do not have your own for operating the stair climber.
