Summer Holiday Cinema
This summer we’re excited to present a season of cinema events, with the summer's best family friendly films, and free drop-in colouring sessions.
We take care to make sure that our cinema is friendly and welcoming to young audiences: these are relaxed screenings, with the sound lowered and the lights left on a little. Accessible and neurodiverse friendly. Babies are welcome!
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.
Tickets £4.50 or get a Summer Holiday Cinema Pass
Get a discount (each ticket for £4) when you book tickets for the 4 films in our Summer Holiday Cinema season. (Tickets have to be booked in a single transaction and be the same type.)
A big thank you to our sponsors
