A trip to the flicks is now more affordable in County Durham thanks to a new family cinema ticket.
The Gala Theatre in Durham has introduced a saver ticket that will allow a family of five with a minimum of two children to watch a film including the latest blockbusters for £20.
The venue, which is run by Durham County Council, has also reduced all cinema tickets to £5, regardless of the day or time. This is a saving of almost £3.
Robin Byers, Gala Theatre manager, said: “There is nothing quite like watching a blockbuster film on the big screen, but the cost can mount up if the whole family is coming along. We want a trip to the cinema to be more affordable, which is why we have reduced our prices and introduced a family saver ticket.
“The new prices come into effect today (Friday), just in time for a summer of must-see films, including Toy Story 4, The Lion King, X-Men Dark Phoenix and Men in Black: International.”
A new catering offer, meanwhile, will mean audiences can enjoy a large popcorn and a drink for £5, further reducing the cost of the cinema experience.
