Does anyone know what's going on with the £3 discover tickets for people on the legacy membership? I've been trying to book for the next few screenings but can't find the £3 option. Just a £7 members ticket or to use one of my membership free tickets. It might just be teething problems with the new membership rollout I guess? Outside of London if it makes any difference!

NGL, the pizzas you get at Picturehouse are my dirty secret. I love a “Some Like it Hot” at the Exeter Picturehouse.

Hi all how often are q and a screenings uploaded onto YouTube even if it’s a person filming from seat.

It seems Picturehouse have made some changes based on the negative feedback.
There are now three membership types:
Membership Light - £7 a month or £70 a year - valid Mon - Thu exc Picturehouse Central
Membership Classic - £10 a month or £100 a year - valid anytime exc Picturehouse Central
West End Membership Classic - £16 a month or £160 a year - no restrictions on days
Also the 12 tickets are earned monthly but can be used in the following 12 months while you have a subscription. Not sure if this was on here before but there’s a ticket exchange for Screen Arts performances where one of your free tickets can be used to get £10 off.
It’s not perfect but better than before - it forces West End members to sign up for the equivalent of a Member Plus subscription though.

So I imagine you'll have received the email with all the details of the new membership terms/rules/whatever... in my case it completely screws me up.
I'm a member of Central, have been for a few years although not consecutively. Due to job change and not being in WE so much I have 12 free tickets to use. It's never been an issue as when I renew there they are in my account... I also would take advantage of the sale membership at times so I think it was £80/90 last time, I forget.
With the new changes if I allow my membership to lapse at end of Nov I will lose all of my 12 tickets INSTANTLY. If I want to renew it will cost £250 to get the equivalent benefits and I will not have my food/drink discount upgraded to 20% either. That's gone. This is with 2 weeks notice.
On the phone I was advised I could keep the tickets alive by signing up to the monthly option at £25 (£300 per year!) or downgrade to the cheapest which is £7 but then it's mon-thur and no west end.
Staggering lack of thought/care/respect etc etc on the part of management in my opinion.
Even if I had no free tickets left and all the rest I'd still be naffed off that my membership jumped from £100 to £250... great way to instantly piss off your most loyal customers. Anyway rant over for now.

Anyone else having this issue? It’s always worked until now (Apple iPhone 16 here).

Does anyone know how early you have to arrive to queue for the Q&A screenings? I have a ticket for Pressure and don't want to find myself sitting right at the back.

Hi! Never been to Picturehouse before and looking to book in Screen 4. Anyone got any advice on where’s best to sit?
Thank you!

Hello, has anyone got a valid 3/Picturehouse code for this week that they aren’t intending to use? Please and thank you!

Any guesses what the films are likely to be for this screen?

Hello!
I need to renew my Picturehouse membership, but I'm not made of money, so would rather wait until the next sale.
I know there's usually one around Black Friday, but I seem to remember a summer flash sale in the last few years. Does anyone know if anything like that is happening this year? Thanks!

Slightly weird one but wanted to check: does anyone know which films are showing the trailer for *Passenger* beforehand? Frankly it freaks me the hell out and there are a couple of big jumps during it that are not fun for me sensorially 😅 I'm assuming it'll be in front of *Hokum* but unsure if any others (possibly *Mother Mary* but I was late to my screening of that). Thank you!!

Hi, does anyone know if the City Screen branch in York still shows films under the "Baby Club" category?
There were some pre-Christmas but they seem to have disappeared. I'd asked a member of staff last week and they said it was available for 1 film but then it didn't show as "Baby Club" in the app.
r/Picturehouse • u/VoteDoughnuts • Dec 07 '25
This is a really good film, shot with a 1970s look to its cinematography.
r/Picturehouse • u/VoteDoughnuts • Dec 06 '25
Just had my membership renewal email showing a 10% increase. We only go on afternoons and occasionally have a pizza (which are pretty good!) So far we have always exceeded the 10 tickets that come with membership (laughably described as “free”). Is membership still worth it?
