We tremendously value the positive feedback and support we’ve received from customers at Picturehouse since our reopening, and we appreciate all our visitors’ adherence to the changes implemented to help ease the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). 


Many of the procedures that we have implemented include sanitation stations, rigorous cleaning procedures, and new refund policies. 


From 27 January, face coverings are no longer mandatory in our cinemas in England – but please do continue to wear them if you’d like. From 18 April, face coverings are no longer required in Scotland.


It is not currently necessary to provide your Covid Status (i.e. proof of vaccination, recovery or a negative test) to visit Picturehouse Cinemas in England or Scotland. 


Above all, we aim to continue to ensure that both customers and employees will continue to feel safe and comfortable at Picturehouse.

As Coronavirus continues to have an impact on our operations, our refund policy remains adjusted to ensure flexibility for customers who are exposed to COVID-19, exhibit COVID-19 symptoms, or are unable to make the screening for other reasons.

Customers are able to receive a refund up to 2 hours before their show, minus booking fees.

Refunds are only available through our Customer Care team who will be happy to help you with this. Please call 0207 018 3629 (calls charged at your local rate). The customer care team is available from 10am - 6pm daily. 

Toilets in our cinemas will be cleaned frequently and the frequency of checks will be increased. Where possible, there will be staff members monitoring the toilets during busy periods and controlling capacity. We will be working together with our customers to ensure that toilets are clean and safe at all times. 

Following government guidance, we ask that you and members of your household do not come to the cinema if one of you is showing symptoms.


If you or a member of your household have symptoms of COVID-19, please call our Customer Care team on 0207 018 3629 (calls charged at your local rate), who will be able to help issue you a refund (minus any booking fees) up to 2 hours before your show.

Booking tickets is no longer limited by ‘rule of six’ guidelines or by social distancing. Screens are now operating at full capacity, but allocated seating remains in use.

All cinemas will have at least one sanitisation station which will contain hand sanitising gel. The locations will vary from cinema to cinema depending on layout. 

If you or a member of your household begins to show symptoms of COVID-19, we strongly recommend that you do not attend the cinema. 

If a customer is showing symptoms, or advises staff once they're in the building that they may have symptoms, we will respectfully have to ask them and their group to leave to ensure the safety of fellow customers and staff. 

Families and bubbles are no longer required to be seated together or maintain social distance from others. We will encourage our visitors to respect other customers and staff whilst in our cinemas, and ensure they continue to use the allocated seating system. 

Buggies are welcome, but if possible and to avoid disappointment please consider alternative options as storage space is limited. 

Yes, but contactless payments are preferred and encouraged for the safety of our customers and staff. 

Whilst there will be capacity to buy tickets at our cinemas, we would encourage all customers to book in advance. 

Our kiosks will be fully stocked and our wide range of delicious snacks and drinks remain available. Cafes, bars and restaurants will also be open, with our exciting new menu available for all. Please check your local Picturehouse Cinema page for more information.

Please contact our customer care team on enquiries@picturehouses.co.uk and we'll be happy to help. The customer care team is available from 10am - 6pm daily, and look forward to helping you with your visit.

Great news! A whole new film-going experience awaits you. You can buy a Picturehouse Membership online at picturehouses.com/membership or at the Box Office of any of our cinemas.
If you bought your Membership online or over the phone, your shiny new card is waiting for you at the Box Office of your local Picturehouse. To collect it, just quote the temporary card number we sent you in your Membership confirmation email.
You’ll need your card to claim Member Free Tickets and discounts. If you don’t have it to hand, but have your smartphone with you, you can download the Picturehouse App to access a digital version of your Membership card. All the perks, without the piece of plastic!
Yes! Visit our online Gift Shop or pop into your local Picturehouse. If you’re buying a Gift Membership from our online shop and would like the Membership card posted directly to the giftee, make sure you enter their details in the ‘Postage Details’ field.

Simply log in to MyPicturehouse using your online password. (If you bought your Membership in person or over the phone, you’ll need to activate your card and create a password first.)

Once you’ve signed in, you can book tickets for fellow Members by adding different card numbers in the relevant fields. Using the App? Make sure you’re logged in to get discounts and use your Member Free Tickets.

You can do both – and check your purchase history – by logging in to MyPicturehouse on either the website or the App. We’ll also send you Membership updates via email as long as your email address is linked to your Membership.
If you bought your Membership online, yes! If you bought it at the Box Office or over the phone, you need to activate your Membership to create your account.
An exclusive package of extra perks for Members who’ve been with us for a year or more, including 20% off food and drink, a personalised Membership card and invitations to Premium Previews.
If you already qualify, i.e. you’ve been a Member for at least a year, you don’t need to do a thing: the new perks are ready to go on your card. If you’re still in your first year, make sure you renew your Membership before your next renewal date. You’ll get all the benefits once your second year begins. The same goes for existing Premium Members: to stay Premium, you need to renew before your renewal date.
We’re afraid not. You can renew at any time, but you’ll only get the Premium benefits after you’ve completed your first year.
We’ll send your personalised card to you after your next renewal, as long as your first year is complete. (Make sure your postal address is correct on MyPicturehouse first!)
You bet. Choose Member Plus and get £10 off your renewal!
Unfortunately not. It’s not all bad news, though: Student Members already get 25% off food and drink!
Only when you book online or over the phone. When you buy tickets in person at the Box Office, we’ll waive the 3D surcharges.

Come and see us at the Box Office and quote your Membership card number.

Need to find out your Membership card number? Use the digital Membership card on the Picturehouse App, or call our Membership hotline 0207 733 2229 and we’ll confirm it after a few security questions.

As a Member you get money off tickets, food and drink, as well as discounts at national and local partners. Here’s the full list of perks.

Unfortunately, we can’t process new Memberships while our cinemas are closed. However, you can still buy e-Gift vouchers here.

Please note that e-Gift vouchers cannot be redeemed until our cinemas are open.
When selecting tickets on the website, you should see a tab that says ‘Voucher’. Click on this tab, add the full voucher code in the field that appears, and then add the ticket to the basket. You can also use the voucher code when booking over the phone.

Here you also have the option to pay with the available balance on the card or limit it to a specific amount. (If using it to buy Membership, just add your Gift Card number in the relevant field on the payment page.)
  • At the Box Office: Just hand over your Gift Card when asked for payment.
  • Over the phone/on the App: You can also book with a Gift Card over the phone or on the Picturehouse App, but only if the balance on the card covers the total amount of the transaction.

Everywhere! Our Gift Cards are accepted in all Picturehouse Cinemas.

It’s valid for 24 months from the date of purchase, or, if later, the date of the last card payment or top-up. Anything left on the card at the end of the validity period will be cancelled, and no refund will be given.

Once you’ve used the entire balance and no top-up is made within 30 days of that date, the Gift Card will be deactivated and cannot be re-used.

You can check the balance here.
We don’t accept part payments using Gift Cards or e-Gift Vouchers.
Yes, this fee will apply unless you are a Picturehouse Member. Members do not pay a booking fees on our own ticket. See our website terms of use for more details.
Unfortunately not.

Audio description is a special service for blind and visually impaired cinemagoers. For selected films, a narration track is played through a special headset and fills the gaps between dialogue by describing what’s happening on screen. The track is undetectable to anyone not wearing a headset and so doesn’t affect their viewing experience.

To see which films have audio description, look for the ‘Audio described’ label next to a film’s time on the website and App; you can also call our dedicated booking line or ask at the Box Office. If you need the induction loop or a headset, please ask a member of staff when you arrive – we can also recommend the best seats to use in the screen.

These are screenings with subtitles. Everyone is welcome, and the audio track still plays as usual.
If you have any access needs, just ask a member of staff – they’ll be happy to help you! To prepare for your visit, you can also read all about accessibility at our cinemas here.
We offer free entry for accompanying carers and accept the CEA card – a national initiative that offers a free ticket to carers/companions accompanying disabled guests to the cinema.

To find out more about the CEA card scheme and register for a card, visit www.ceacard.co.uk, or contact them via telephone: 0124 452 6016, minicom: 0845 123 1292, textphone: 0845 123 1297 or email: info@ceacard.co.uk. The card is personal to you, and may not be used by other people.

If you'd like your carer to come with you but don't have a CEA card, please call our accessibility helpline or visit the Box Office to make your booking and we'll arrange a free carer ticket for you. Signing up for a card isn't required, but we hope it'll make buying tickets easier.

Our Autism-Friendly screenings are adapted in a variety of ways to help reduce anxiety and over-stimulation and ensure a safe, enjoyable cinema experience for people with autism, and their families, friends and carers. We aim to offer a relaxed and welcoming environment where staff are sensitive to the needs of children and families with autism. Tickets are at a reduced rate of £3.30 per person.

Adjustments include: 

  • There are no trailers or advertisement, the lights left on low throughout the film and the volume is reduced.
  • There is the freedom to move around, make noise and sit where you like
  • you are welcome to take a break and leave the screen whenever you need to

Our Dementia-Friendly screenings take place once a month at select Picturehouse Cinemas. Tickets are £4.30 per person, with free tickets for accompanying carers. Free tea, coffee and biscuits are served for half an hour before the film to give people the chance to meet and socialise with others, and to familiarise themselves with the cinema space.

These screenings are open to all but cater especially for people living with dementia. They aim to make cinema more accessible to local dementia communities by providing a fun and inclusive experience to enable people living with dementia, their families and carers to attend the cinema in a safe and welcoming environment.

Our Dementia-Friendly screenings are enhanced to suit the needs of people living with dementia: the lights are left low, there are no adverts or trailers, and the audience is allowed to move around — or sing along to any musical numbers! — should they wish to.

Visit our Dementia-Friendly page to find out what's on and if your local Picturehouse takes part.

Silver Screen is a free-to-join club for the over-60s. Members can enjoy a free tea or coffee and biscuits at the weekly Silver Screen shows.

The Box Office opens at least 15 minutes before the start of the first film each day.
Sure, you can do this at the Box Office. We can’t guarantee your favourite spot, but we can show you which seats (if any) are available.
We try to let customers into the screen ten minutes before a show’s listed start time, but this may vary.
We do try to allow customers to enter the screening up to 20 minutes after the stated start time, however due to different circumstances this may not always be possible.

We reserve the right to refuse admission, or we may ask you to leave the premises without a refund, if you do any of the following:

  • behave in an anti-social or threatening manner, or put the safety of our customers, staff or property at risk
  • bring a camera or recording equipment of any kind into the cinema
  • breach any of our terms of admission
You’re welcome to take small bags and cases into a screen as long as they fit under your seat and don’t block the row or aisle. Unfortunately we can’t look after large items of luggage while you’re watching a film. You can leave prams/strollers in the foyer area of the screen, but this is at your own risk.
Yes you can, but please switch it off before the film starts. (The light is just as distracting as the sound!)
You can take it in with you, as long as it’s switched off and stored away at all times.
Contact us as soon as possible! Speak to a member of staff in the cinema, or, if you’d prefer not to approach us in person, call or email our Customer Care team (020 7326 2649 or customerservice@picturehouses.co.uk).
Feedback is always welcome! Ask to speak to a manager or send an email to customerservice@picturehouses.co.uk.
If you can, let a member of staff know while you’re at the cinema so we can tackle the problem then and there. If it’s something that can’t be resolved until after your visit, send us an email so we have it in writing and can investigate it further. We always aim to respond with a resolution as soon as we can (usually within seven days).

We do not currently accept £50 notes.

We reserve the right to require you to prove your age with appropriate photographic ID if you are going to a 12A, 15 or 18 film or purchasing alcoholic drinks. If you are unable to prove your age you will not be able to watch the film or buy alcoholic drinks. We reserve the right to ask for such proof at any time you are on our premises.  In order to prove your age we require official ID that includes a photo and date of birth such as a passport (or photocopy of a passport) or a driver’s license, we also accept all PASS accredited proof of age cards.  For more information or to apply for a proof of age ID card visit: pass-scheme.org.uk.

Ticket prices may vary for certain films and performances, such as live events, theatre and opera. We also offer different price points on different days, such as our cheaper tickets all day every Monday.
Child tickets are available to those under 15 years of age.
Tickets for big releases like Star Wars or Marvel often go on sale a few weeks before they open in cinemas. Screen Arts shows and live events are also scheduled well in advance. In most cases though, we don’t confirm showtimes for new films until much closer to their release – usually a few days before.
We usually publish listings every Tuesday morning for the subsequent Friday to Thursday. If it’s a Bank Holiday Monday, they’ll be online on the Wednesday morning.

U - Suitable for anyone
PG - Parental Guidance
12A - Suitable for 12 years and over but anybody under 12 can be admitted if someone over 18 is present
15 - Suitable for 15 years and over
18 - Suitable for 18 years and over

For full details, including reasons for each rating, visit bbfc.co.uk.

Children under eight years old must be accompanied by an adult.

Adults pay the child price with our family ticket. It's available for all screenings rated U, PG and 12A and covers four people: either one adult and three kids (under the age of 15), or two adults and two kids. Perfect for bringing the whole brood to the cinema during the school holidays.
Usually we play 15 to 20 minutes of ads and trailers before a film starts. There’s no pre-show before Screen Arts events though, so we recommend being in your seat for the time on the ticket.

Happy Mondays is our attempt to brighten up the start of the week and help keep the back-to-work blues at bay. That means cheaper tickets all day, every Monday (excluding bank holidays), for everyone!

Not all of our screenings have allocated seating. Arrive early to grab your favourite seats!

Easy! Go to the Box Office – it’s open at least 15 minutes before the start of the first film each day – and let one of our team know what you’d like to see.
Nope! Because you’re not booking tickets in advance, you don’t pay the fee.

There’s no need! Your booking confirmation is your ticket, so you can go straight to the screen and show the QR code to our usher. (This can be on an email printout or on your mobile phone.)

If you don’t have access to a printer or a mobile phone, you can still quote your booking reference at the Box Office and we’ll print your ticket for you. Or, if you booked using your Membership, we can print one using your Membership card.

Beyond our standard adult price, we offer discounted tickets and membership options for over-60s and students (with valid student ID). Tickets are also cheaper for kids up to the age of 14.
Absolutely! (Members get some great discounts and benefits though, like no booking fees on their own tickets, so why not think about joining us?)
The booking fee of 70p per ticket helps fund the running of our advance ticket booking services, including our website, app and customer service support.
As we reopen our cinemas following the UK lockdown we are amending our refund policy so that you can now receive a refund up to 2 hours before your show. For full details of our refund policy, see our terms of admission. Please note, booking fees paid when booking tickets online or by phone will not be refundable.

Speak to a member of staff at the Box Office, or call our refunds hotline (020 7018 3629, open from 10.00 to 18.00).

We can only give refunds to the person who made the booking. If you bought or collected your tickets from the cinema, you need to return them at the Box Office in order to claim your refund. Please note, booking fees paid when booking tickets online or by phone are not refundable.
If you are unemployed you can purchase a ticket at child prices. This ticket price is available Tuesday to Thursdays before 17.00. Proof of status is required, so please bring this along to the cinema when you visit.

Yes. You can receive a refund up to 2 hours before your show. For full details of our refund policy, see our terms of admission. Please note, any booking fees paid when booking online or by phone will not be refundable.


Following government guidance, we ask that you and members of your household do not come to the cinema if you have Covid-19 symptoms.

Please contact our Customer Care team on enquiries@picturehouses.co.uk and we'll be happy to help.

There are a number of films which have a period set by the distributor which is referred to as ‘Free List Suspended’. This means that for that set time certain free tickets and vouchers can not be used against this film until after the free-list suspension has ceased.

Free list suspended films do not apply to CEA cards holders on their free carer ticket, Member’s free tickets or Meerkat Movies.

You can find more details and an up-to-date list of these films here.

Speak to a member of cinema staff or call our Customer Care team on 020 7326 2649 (between 10.00 and 20.30), giving as much detail as you can about the item and your visit.

We clean the screens after each film and hand over anything we find to the manager’s office for safekeeping, so there’s a good chance we’ve picked it up already and it's safe with the rest of the lost property.
Most of our cinemas have their own bar and restaurant. For menus and more details, check the cinema information page of your local Picturehouse.
Yes. As long as it isn’t alcoholic, in a glass container, or hot and/or smelly food, we will allow you to bring it in with you. So soft drinks and quiet snacks are allowed.
