We are introducing a change to the way we handle reservations: namely, adding a closing date before the film. This is so we can process the reservations without the possibility of missing last-minute reservations (which has happened in the past). Another reason to get your reservations in early! See Tickets for more details.
Spring 2025 season confirmed
We're pleased to announce that the 2025 spring season movies are now confirmed. See here for more details.
Changes to screenings and bookings
Starting with the Autumn 2024 season, we have a couple of changes to announce:
- We have decided to discontinue the Matinee showings for the time being, and only put on Evening showings.
- There's a new online reservation system that you can use instead of emailing us, which you may find more convenient. You can find it on the Reservations page.
Autumn 2024 season confirmed
We're pleased to announce that the 2024 autumn season movies are now confirmed. See here for more details.
Extra summer evening showing
We don't usually run movies during the summer months, but this summer we're making an exception! Since we did Barbie back in January, we thought we'd finish the Barbenheimer sequence by showing the award-winning Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy on Saturday June 15th.
It's an evening-only showing, and since it's quite a long film we'll be starting a bit earlier, at 7pm. Doors open at 6:15pm. We hope to see you there!
Sloop Groggy Dogs return!
We are pleased to announce that the Sloop Groggy Dogs will be back at the Zonita for the April 13 showing of Fisherman's Friends: One And All. They'll be playing for us just before the film starts, and also in the interval. Come and join us for a jolly sea-shanty sing-along!
Spring 2024 season confirmed
We're pleased to announce that the 2024 spring season movies are now confirmed. See here for more details.
Announcing the Autumn 2023 season
We're pleased to announce that the 2023 autumn season movies are now confirmed. See here for more details.
From this season onwards, we are making a few changes:
- We are slightly changing our matinees, by including some matinee films aimed at older audiences. The matinees will now screen at the slightly later time of 3:00pm, with doors opening at 2:30pm.
- Evening screenings will also be a little later, starting at 7.30pm and with doors opening at 6:45pm.
- Under-18s get in free!
We look forward to seeing you!
