Bishop Auckland

Welcome to REEL Cinema Bishop Auckland

REEL Cinema Bishop Auckland brings the magic of the big screen to the heart of the community.

Our cinema features seven screens showing everything from the latest blockbusters to family favourites, special events and big-screen classics.

But we’re more than just a place to watch films.

At REEL, we believe cinema is about the shared experience – the buzz before the trailers begin, the atmosphere in the room, the laughter, the suspense, and those unforgettable moments that stay with you long after the credits roll. That’s why our aim is simple: we want every visit to feel special. As we like to say, we want you to “feel the magic, not just the movies.”

Family-owned for more than 25 years, REEL believes cinemas should feel welcoming, relaxed and local – somewhere you recognise the faces behind the counter and feel comfortable bringing friends, family or the kids.

That’s exactly what our General Manager Mark and his team are here to do – making sure every visit feels friendly, relaxed and memorable from the moment you walk through the doors.

Alongside our screens, we’ve created spaces designed to bring people together and make the cinema a real hub for the local community. These include:

• A dedicated party room – perfect for birthdays and celebrations
• A mezzanine space for gatherings, events and community groups
• A multi-functional screen that can host private hires, gaming sessions, school visits, corporate events and special screenings
  
  

Got an idea for an event? A film you’d love to see back on the big screen? Head to our Contact page to get in touch with Mark and the team – this is your local cinema.

Now grab the popcorn, find your seat, and enjoy the show.
