Introduction

These Terms of Admission, as may be from time to time amended, (these “Terms”) set out the general terms which apply to you the customer. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Age Restrictions

Entry to films and events is restricted by the classification given by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC https://www.bbfc.co.uk/about-classification ) or others. We are required to refuse admission to anyone who is below the minimum age required by the relevant classification.

• Anyone can be admitted to films classified as U or PG although the BBFC recommends a minimum age of 4 years.
  Children under 12 can be admitted to films classified as 12A but only if accompanied by an adult (i.e. someone over the age of 18).

• Whilst we do not encourage this practice we will admit infants under the age of 3 who can go into screenings with the appropriate adult providing that they are removed from the auditorium should they cause disturbance to other customers, and the film is classified as U, PG or 12A.
• Whilst we do not encourage this practice babies under the age of 1 will be admitted without charge as long as we are informed of their attendance in advance. Tickets must be purchased for everyone else.
• We reserve the right to require you to prove your age with appropriate photographic ID if you are going to a 12A, 15, 18 film or purchasing an alcoholic drink.

Concessionary tickets are available for full time students, claimants and senior citizens. You must bring proof of status to the cinema.

We define these categories as follows:

We regret that tickets cannot normally be refunded after purchase except where an event is cancelled. Exceptions may be made in special circumstances at the discretion of the management. You may exchange your tickets for another performance if you notify us prior to the event your tickets are valid for, so we are able to re-sell the tickets.
