After splashing the cash over Christmas, most of us spend January trying to watch our pennies and save a few quid wherever we can.
So, if you’re looking for something to do with the kids this weekend that won’t break the bank, nationwide chain Showcase Cinemas is offering £4 cinema tickets.
On Saturday, January 13 and Sunday, January 14, the cinema group, which has a location inside Bluewater shopping centre in Greenhithe, will be giving away discounted tickets to Showcase Insider members.
Showcase Insider is the cinema’s loyalty scheme and is completely free to sign up for.
Once you have signed up, you can benefit from £4 tickets over the weekend, which is better than half price compared to its standard ticket prices.
For example, tickets to see Wonka, a new family film based on Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka character and starring Timothée Chalamet, cost £15.50 for adults and £10.40 for children without the discount.
Members can also get half price food and drink during the Insider Weekend event.
The discount applies to snacks such as popcorn, nachos and hot dogs as well as soft drinks.
Showcase Cinemas marketing director Jon Dixon said: “We’re delighted to announce our second Insider Weekend with special offers to delight film fans nationwide.
“What better way to kick off 2024, and with so many great films set to be released throughout the year there really is no excuse not to sign up to Insider for free and enjoy all the membership benefits!”
Films showing at the Bluewater cinema this weekend include Disney’s Wish, the Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, One Life, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Poor Things, Priscilla and Wonka.
You can sign up for the discount and find the full list of showtimes here.
The Insider membership also includes rewards, reduced price screenings, discounts on food and drink and exclusive events throughout the year.
