About National Cinema Day

Now in its third year, National Cinema Day will take place at over 630 venues across the UK. Developed by the cross industry body Cinema First, with the support of the Film Distributors’ Association and the UK Cinema Association, National Cinema Day was launched in 2022 and was an immediate success, achieving 1.46 million admissions in a single day. This increased to 1.56 million admissions in 2023. With so many cinemas taking part this year, 2024 promises to be even bigger and better!

Ahead of this weekend’s event, Iain Jacob, Chair of Cinema First said: “National Cinema Day is fast becoming a Great British cultural event, sharing the joy and sociability of cinema across the nation. This year we have more support than ever, allowing us to show a fantastically wide choice of films at amazing value. Every year this event has got bigger, with more and more people sharing their love of cinema. We know that 2024 will be the best yet."

There has never been a better time to enjoy some movie magic and support your local cinema.
