Each event is bookable separately, and a limited number of discounted all-day tickets are available. Ticket numbers are strictly limited to enable social distancing and all tickets must be booked online in advance. There will be no ticket sales at the cinema on the day.

If Sheffield is placed in Tier 2 next week, all events will take place as per the below schedule, on December 20th. If Sheffield remains in Tier 3, and the cinema has to stay closed, all events will be postponed until Sunday 17th January 2021. All ticket holders will be offered a choice between a quick refund and transfer to the January 2021 date. Ticket availability is extremely limited – the cinema’s seating has been cut to 25% of its usual size – so booking early is recommended.
