Tyneside Cinema

Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle city centre will reopen soon (dates to follow).

They have recently announced their plans for a phased return with a number of themed weekends as they begin to welcome back film-goers to their independent cinema.

Things will look a lot different than before. We’re planning to re-open on a phased basis, initially through a series of ‘soft opening’ weekends in which we can trial-run our new safety measures. Social distancing will affect how we’re planning our programme. We’ll have a reduced cinema capacity, gradually increasing as the distancing measures are relaxed. We’re also planning on fewer screenings per day, to avoid bottlenecks into our screens, and to allow for enhanced cleaning in between films.

At the Tyneside Cinema, a trip to the pictures is given the sense of occasion it deserves.

Showing the best films in stylish and beautiful surroundings, Tyneside Cinema's varied programme ranges from brilliant films from all over the world to the best Hollywood has to offer. As the last surviving Newsreel theatre still operating as a cinema full-time in the UK, this Grade II-listed building is an important, must-see piece of heritage, not just regionally, but nationally too and it has been lovingly restored to preserve and celebrate the grandeur of its original 1937 art deco design.

With four screens, a Bar Cafe, a digital art gallery, a traditional Coffee Rooms and displays of heritage items and contemporary artworks, all housed in a beautifully renovated old building right at the heart of Newcastle City Centre, Tyneside Cinema is an absolute must-visit venue.
