The questions we get asked most. If yours is not here, we are always happy to help.
Tickets
How much are tickets?
Tickets are £5 per person for our regular screenings. If a special event is priced differently, the price is always shown on that film’s own page.
Where can I buy tickets?
Online through our TicketSource shop, or on the door on the night. Booking ahead is the surest way to get a seat, and it helps us know how many chairs to put out.
Are there booking fees?
No. There are no booking fees when you book online through our TicketSource shop.
Can I buy tickets on the door?
Yes, subject to availability. We accept payment on the night, and it is worth checking our Facebook page before you set out in case a screening has sold out.
What happens if a screening is cancelled?
If we have to cancel a screening we will let ticket holders know as soon as we can and refund every ticket in full.
Screening
What time do doors open?
Doors open at 6:30pm. Come early, have a cup of tea and get a good seat.
What time does the film start?
Films usually start at 7:00pm. The start time for every screening is listed on its page, so do check if you are coming to a special event.
Can I reserve a particular seat?
Seating is unreserved, so pick whichever seat you fancy when you arrive. If you need a particular spot — near the door, on an aisle, or with room for a wheelchair — just let us know beforehand and we will keep one for you.
Can children come along?
Absolutely, as long as the film’s age rating allows it. We follow the British Board of Film Classification ratings, and the rating for every screening is shown on its page.
Venue
Where is the cinema?
We screen at the Victoria Diamond Jubilee Hall, Hermitage Street, Evanton, Ross-shire, IV16 9YG — right in the middle of the village.
Is there parking nearby?
There is on-street parking around the hall and in the village. Please park considerately and leave the entrance clear for anyone who needs to be dropped off at the door.
Accessibility
Is the venue accessible?
Our accessibility page sets out what to expect at the hall. If there is anything we can do to make your visit easier, please get in touch before the screening and we will do our best to help.
Refreshments
Are refreshments available?
Yes — there are refreshments on screening nights, and part of the fun is the blether before the lights go down.
General
Who runs the cinema?
Evanton Community Cinema is a non-profit run entirely by local volunteers. We are a separate organisation from the village hall, though our equipment is installed there and that is where all our screenings take place.
Can I suggest a film?
Please do. We love hearing what people want to see — send us a message and we will add it to the list we work through when we put a programme together.
