GREAT CINEMA SHOULD
BE FOR EVERYONE We’re rolling out a new pricing structure for our regular film programme starting from 1 March, asking you to make a choice about what you can afford to pay for a great cinema experience - Pay What You Can.
WHY THE NEW STRUCTURE We know that cost is an important factor in your choice of cinema and we want you to choose us, come often and bring your friends / family. We’re also working hard to make sure we can bring you a great programme of independent films as well as the latest blockbusters.
HOW IT WORKS
Pay What You Can applies to all of the films in our regular film programme* and on every day of the week. There are three price options available for all of our regular films* and You Choose the one that’s right for you. You might take into account who’s seeing the film (adults / children), if it’s a brand new film or how near to pay day it is. Whatever the reason(s) for your choice, no-one’s judging and we won’t ask you to explain. Your choices are:
£4.50 I £6.50 I £8.50
For more info about ‘Pay What You Can’ visit our website:
macrobertartscentre.org *This excludes event cinema screenings.
NEW SEATS FOR THE PLAYHOUSE
The countdown is on for the installation of the new seats in the Playhouse and you’ll be able to enjoy this new level of comfort for all the Playhouse film screenings in this guide. You’ll also be able to take hot drinks in with you (for film screenings only) so make sure you come along and give it a try.
CAMPUS CENTRAL
Preparation work is ongoing as plans for the Campus redevelopment continue and if you’ve visited us recently you’ll have noticed there are already a few changes. Queen’s Court (the large roundabout at the front of Macrobert Arts Centre) is closed to all through traffic, however you can drop-off at the front of our building. Blue Badge Holders can also access the disabled parking spaces at the front of our building, but can only drive in from the East Link Road (most easily accessed from the Hillfoots entrance to the University of Stirling Campus). We’re continuing work with the University to keep the disruption to a minimum, but please bear with us and look out for all the latest info on our website and social media channels.
