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.

Programmer's Picks are I'm Still Here, by legendary Brazilian filmmaker Walter Salles, The Last Showgirl, which sees the triumphant return of Pamela Anderson, and Santosh, a thriller which lays bare the oppression perpetuated in the name of caste.

Becoming Led Zeppelin is a cinematic odyssey that explores the band’s creative, musical, and personal origin story.

We're pleased to host The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2025, the UK’s biggest festival of Japanese cinema. You can see a different film every Thursday through March.
