Christmas is coming to the Light Cinema
The Christmas lights are up at Marine Point, and we’re all starting to get in the mood for the festive season.
Schools are busy booking their Christmas trips… Customers are stocking up on The Light Cinema Gift Tins… and the goose is getting fat…
During November, we were really pleased to work with the International Guitar Festival, and showed “Hendrix 70” and “The Last Waltz” as well as hosting live music from the very talented Jo Richards and her wonderful band “Calico”. It was good to see the Light Café/Bar full of life, laughter and fantastic music on a Sunday afternoon. We’re hoping to make this a regular event and are always eager to hear your ideas.
Disney’s “Frozen” and “Saving Mr Banks” look like the winning festive films this year, as well as the second “Hobbit” movie – “The Desolation of Smaug”, with “Philomena” still doing really well.
We are broadcasting a wide range of event cinema screenings, including ballet, opera and theatre – as well as rock and pop gigs and special events (including 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who – “Day of the Doctor”).
Special December screenings include:
- RSC’s “Richard II” starring David Tennant on Monday 2 & Tuesday 10 December;
- “Frankenstein” from the National Theatre, directed by Danny Boyle with Benedict Cumberbatch as Creature. Thursday 5 December;
- “The Nutcracker” ballet – live from the Royal Opera House on Thursday 12 December;

We continue to offer great deals to our valued seniors, with a complimentary tea or coffee every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday before 4pm.
We regularly show subtitled and autism-friendly screenings.
Our Family AM screenings on Saturday & Sunday mornings, as well as during schools hols offer great value for money as well as a wide choice of family films for all ages.
Every Friday at 10.15am we screen films exclusively for parents with babies under one year old. This is an opportunity to enjoy the very latest releases accompanied by your baby in a safe and comfortable environment. It’s also a great way to meet other new parents.
We ensure sound is lowered and low lights are on – with nappy changing facilities available.
