We offer Adult and Under 25's Membership Options
Our core season runs from 1 August until 31 July the following year and comprises 15 carefully selected films from the UK and around the world. We screen these between September and April. We also offer a Classic Season and an Art Season in association with the Friends of Mercer Art Gallery.
Additionally, we run further ad-hoc events and charity screenings.
Membership gives you free entry to our core season films, plus early notification of special events and discounts on most of them too!
We offer some pre-film social evenings and intend to keep our quiz evenings a regular feature throughout the calendar.
We ask you to score the films as you leave and welcome your comments too.
For those who like to discuss films in more detail, we also offer several post-film discussion groups including a free tea or coffee.
Free parking is available to all at the Odeon after 6pm,
but you need to collect & display the orange voucher in your car
Please note that members do NOT need to book tickets or reserve seats for our core season events, just rock up on the night, flash your membership card, gain entry to the film and sit where you like!
Everyone has to book tickets for ALL of our non-core season events.
