Viewing Archived Events
Suburbicon (15)
George Clooney is back in the director's chair for a wildly entertaining, deliciously dark satire co-scripted by the Coen Brothers set in 1959 that is unsettlingly pertinent to the present day.
Bringing in Baby: Battle of the Sexes (12A)
Film screening for parents, grandparents and carers of babies under 12 months to enjoy a sociable trip to the cinema. Free hot drink included!
Vickie Fear: Lunchtime Talk
Plymouth-based contemporary art Producer Vickie Fear discusses how artists in the regions are navigating a challenging landscape of little or no pay by building peer networks and self-initiating opportunities.
Creative Play January 9
Come into a stimulating environment where your child can lead you on a discovery of messy fun.
Loving Vincent (12A)
Extra Screenings added! The world's first fully painted feature film brings together the paintings of Vincent van Gogh to tell his extraordinary life story.
Relaxed Screening: Loving Vincent
Everyone is welcome to these screenings, but the cinema environment is subtly altered to be friendly for people living with Autism and Dementia and their family, friends and carers.
The Princess Bride (PG)
A sparkling new print of a family classic that is as good as you remember it. With quotable lines and plenty of swashes to be buckled this will get everyone in the Christmas mood.

Winner of Best Arts, Culture and Theatre Venue – Muddy Stilettos Devon Awards 2024
As the cost of living crisis bites, we don’t want people to break the habit of coming to the cinema because it’s something they can no longer afford. 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.
