Frequently Asked Questions
What does my ticket include?
Your ticket includes a nice, comfy seat in our Foreign Office plus one of the following:
- soft drink
- 125ml glass of house wine
- cup of tea or coffee
- pint of lager or can of cider
If you opt for a Festive Film Ticket, you'll also receive a small bag of popcorn and a festive cocktail from our Film Society menu during the film.
What time does the film start?
Unlike at conventional cinemas, we do not show adverts or trailers before the film. This means that the Event Start Time on your ticket is the time we press PLAY on the film! For this reason, we'd advise you to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the film so we can get you seated with your complimentary drink and take any orders for snacks or cocktails.
What if I can't make it?
Unfortunately, because we have just 10 seats available, we are unable to offer refunds however you are welcome to pass your tickets on to someone else if you can't make it.
Can I stay on for a drink after the film?
We close at 9pm on Wednesdays and 10pm on Thursdays so it's not always possible to stay on and have a drink after weekday screenings. If you are booked for a long film and think you would like a second drink then we would recommend ordering one to be delivered to you half way during the film.
What's the big secret?
Because of the nature of our screening license, we're unable to advertise the films to you unless you're a member of our Society group on Facebook, sign up to our newsletter or pop in to our café where we list future screenings on our chalkboard and our postcards.
