Frequently Asked Questions
When do the cinema doors open?
Our foyer and auditorium are usually open 1 hour before the advertised screening time. The auditorium will always be open a minimum of 30 minutes before the advertised screening time.
What if I arrive early?
Don’t worry if you arrive early for your screening. We have a foyer area serving tea and coffee, sweets and snacks and we also have a fully licensed bar which serves from 12noon with very reasonable prices.
I’ve heard that your cinema is on the 4th floor, do you have a lift?
Yes there is a lift in the ground floor reception area of Leigh Spinners Mill. This will take you to all floors in the building including the 4th where our cinema is located.
Do you accept the UK Cinema Association CEA card?
Yes we are happy to welcome a disabled customer presenting this card. The card entitles a companion or carer to attend free of charge to assist a disabled customer. At the moment, these can only be accepted in person at the ticket booth for face to face bookings.
Are mobile phones allowed in the auditorium?
We ask customers not to use a mobile phone or similar electronic device in the auditorium. Ideally we ask that you turn the device off before the film starts but at minimum, put the device into silent mode. In a cinema auditorium, the screens of these devices appear very bright and distracting to other cinema goers and they spoil the collective cinema experience for everyone.
If someone repeatedly uses one of these devices, they may be asked to stop doing so by one of our ushers but if they continue to use the device after warnings, they will be ejected from the screening without a refund.
We also have to be vigilant against film piracy. We check film screenings throughout a performance for recording devices.
Does the film start immediately on its screening time?
We aim to start all our film screenings promptly on their advertised start time but we do show a short trailer package before each film which typically lasts between 7 to 10 minutes.
Please also note that our cinema is a short 5-10 minute walk from the car park at Leigh Spinners Mill. Please remember that our cinema is on the 4th floor of the building.
Where is your ticket booth?
Our tickets booth is situated just inside the doors of our cinema entrance on the 4th floor of the Mill.

Do you have a student rate?
Yes, students aged over 15 can purchase a reduced student rate ticket upon presentation of a valid Student ID card. This ticket costs £5.
A studentd ID card is an identification card that includes information such as name, date of birth, photo, card validity date and the name of the academic institution you attend.
