Award Winning Independent Cinema

Mount Edgcumbe

Q. How can I book tickets?
A. This event is sold out, but please book on this website for other events where there is ticket availability.
We have expanded our Open Air Cinema programme this year to incorporate an extra weekend at Tinside Lido, because the events are so popular and the venue is perfect. Meanwhile, we will be closing our building for the summer on June 29th. This is slightly earlier than in previous years, and will mean that booking for Open Air Cinema events will be online only after June 28th. All tickets purchased online for Open Air Cinema can be collected at the events, or printed at home. If you have issues with booking online, please call the Box Office on 01752 206114 or email info@plymouthartscinema.org and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

A. Yes it will. It will be normal ferries over, they sail every 30 minutes on the quarter-to and quarter-past the hour from Stonehouse. The charge is £1.50 on the way out. The charge is £2.50 on the way back because it is a special late ferry. You can see a map of the site and the route here.
