Entry to films and events is restricted by the classification given by the British Board of Film 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. It is recommended that only those aged 8 or over should attend a PG classified film.
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).
Nobody under the age of 15 can be admitted to films classified as 15.
Nobody under the age of 18 can be admitted to films classified as 18.

We endeavour to show films in accordance with the programme that we advertise. However, there may be circumstances in which we are unable to comply with the advertised programme and in such cases our liability to you is limited to a full refund of the tickets purchased. This includes a change of auditorium when deemed necessary for business, technical or any other reason. We cannot take responsibility for programme information advertised by third parties.
