Requirements

• Book a screening on Saturday 5 or Sunday 6 September 2026.
• Your chosen cinema must be taking part — check the finder first, as not every UK cinema is participating.
• No sign-up, membership or voucher code required.

Important Terms

• £4 is the advised price and may vary slightly at a small number of cinemas.
• Some sites add a small uplift for premium formats such as IMAX (typically around £2 extra), and standard online booking fees may still apply — the checkout price is what you'll pay.
• Popular screenings are expected to sell out, and each cinema sets its own programme.

Tips

• Book as early as you can — the equivalent one-day event in previous years drew over a million cinemagoers, and busy showtimes went fast.
• This is the cheapest way all year to try a premium screen — an IMAX seat that normally costs £15–£20 is around £4–£6 this weekend.
• Going as a family? Four tickets cost about the same as one standard adult ticket normally would.
