Winner of Best Arts, Culture and Theatre Venue – Muddy Stilettos Devon Awards 2024

There’s no better way to watch a film than to make an event of it and see it on the big screen, with an audience. You won’t be asked any questions if you choose this price point, just choose the Budget Ticket option when you book.
