Our cinema week runs from Friday to Thursday, and we update our listings every Monday evening for the upcoming week. On Bank Holiday Mondays, the schedule is released on Tuesday instead.
The film duration can be found on each film’s information page. Don’t forget to add on 15-20 mins for ads and trailers too.
Event Cinema includes special screenings like live theatre, opera, concerts, and documentaries – all shown on the big screen, often as one-night-only experiences.
We can’t guarantee how long any film will stay on screen, as it depends on demand and scheduling.
Our listings are updated every Monday evening (Tuesday if Monday is a Bank Holiday) so we recommend checking then for the latest schedule. If there’s a film you’re keen to see, it’s best to book early to avoid missing out.
We’re usually only able to confirm our film schedule a week at a time, due to how film releases are managed across the industry. New showtimes are added every Monday evening, so check back then for updates.
Although we do put some big releases on sale early, so make sure to check out our Coming Soon page to see our latest additions.
Sometimes listings appear on external sites before they’re live on ours. Drop us a message via our Contact page and we’ll look into it for you.
It depends on the type of event. Live broadcasts usually don’t have trailers, but often include pre-show content like cast interviews or behind-the-scenes footage. Pre-recorded events may include standard cinema trailers.
We always recommend arriving promptly at the advertised time to avoid missing any part of the experience.
First, check your spam or junk folder, as confirmation emails can sometimes end up there.

The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) gives every film an age rating to show who it’s suitable for and these ratings aren’t just guidance, they’re a legal requirement. That means we legally can’t admit anyone who doesn’t meet the age criteria.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
U – Suitable for all ages
PG (Parental Guidance) – Suitable for general viewing, but some scenes may be upsetting or unsuitable for younger children. Parents can decide whether the content is right for their child.
12A – Under 12s must be accompanied by an adult who is over 18-years-old.
15 – Only for those aged 15 and over.
18 – Strictly for adults who are over 18 only.
