Priority booking for Members is open now, general booking opens at 9am on Thursday 11th August.⁠
⁠
Sandy and Danny fell in love over the summer but when the two of them arrive at Rydell High School to unexpectedly discover they're now both students there, will they be able to rekindle their romance or find themselves caught between their two cliques? From jiving school dances and deadly drag-races, Pink Ladies to T-Birds, it’s sure to be quite a year for the class of 1958.⁠
⁠
We all know the story but that's the joy. Grease is every bit the songfest you remember it as, with innuendo, laughs and a huge, huge heart. The perfect tribute to the ever-wonderful Olivia Newton-John. Sandy, we will all remain hopelessly devoted to you.⁠
⁠
Plymouth Arts Cinema, along with many other cinemas, wanted to celebrate the career of Olivia Newton John who sadly died this week, and screening Grease at an Open Air Cinema Event is the best way we can think of to do that.⁠
In tribute to Olivia Newton John and her advocacy work for breast cancer research, we will be donating 50p from every ticket sold to the charity Breast Cancer UK.⁠
⁠
Please Note: Grease has been substituted for The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Ticketholders have been contacted.⁠

Evenings are very sunny and cloudless this week so it is much lighter much later than expected. We ran a screen test last night and light levels were still too high at 8.45pm to see the picture on the screen. To ensure optimal viewing experience, the film will now start at around 9.15pm. Doors will still open at 7.15pm.⁠
⁠
There are still some tickets available for all of the films, we stop selling tickets online at 2pm on the day of the event.
