General information
- You can book tickets online or in person, but we advise booking online in advance—it is quicker for you and helps us avoid queues. You’ll be able to choose your seats when you book.
- If you are only visiting one of our cinema screens, you do not need a museum admission ticket. Show your cinema ticket to a member of staff to access the screen.
- Pictureville Bar opens 30 minutes before the first screening of the day, including Kids’ Club and Silver Screen films. You can take your food and drink into the cinema with you.
- Silver Screen Club runs Monday–Friday, offering discounted tickets and a free tea or coffee for members aged 60 and over. Find out more on the Silver Screen Club page.

Kids’ Club screenings—These £3 film screenings are open to all families with children, but are particularly aimed at families with children under 12.
Our Sunday Kids’ Club screenings are autism friendly. These screenings are for visitors who would benefit from a quieter, more relaxed environment. Unaccompanied adults will not be admitted.
We offer baby friendly screenings every other Wednesday morning, with a relaxed atmosphere for adults with a child under one year old. Enjoy a £4 coffee and cake deal alongside these screenings. Unaccompanied adults will not be admitted.
There is a buggy parking area in the Life Online gallery on Level 0.
Booster seats are available in all our cinemas. Ask a member of staff if you would like to use one.
