Summer Holiday Cinema
This summer we’re excited to present a season of family friendly cinema events, with films, creative workshops and free drop-in colouring sessions.
Our cinema is friendly and welcoming to young audiences, with a relaxed, accessible and neurodivergent friendly environment. Babies are welcome!
Summer Holiday Cinema Ticket Prices: Adults £5, Children £4.38, Babies under 12 months free. We are cutting the prices of our cinema tickets for children this summer thanks to the UK Government’s Great British Summer Savings.
The café-bar will be open, with a range of cinema snacks and hot and cold drinks. Check out our menu. The Arts University Plymouth Refectory will also be open for lunch.
A big thank you to our sponsors
