Frequently Asked Questions

How do I purchase tickets online?

Pick whichever film you wish to book tickets for. Then go onto the seating plan and click on which seats you would like to purchase, and which tickets types you require, ie. Adult, child, concession. Then “Add to Order” and press “Continue”. Then you can choose whether to create an account with us, or skip this step. Then you will be directed to a payment page, and you can use gift vouchers or a credit/debit card to pay for your tickets.

Do you cater for gluten-free/nut-allergy?


We have several gluten-free and nut-free options on our menu. However, although we take every precaution to avoid cross contamination, all dishes are made and prepared in an environment where gluten and nuts are present so we cannot guarantee your food will not come into contact with allergens. Any member of staff will be happy to provide detailed allergen information for all food products we sell at Wetherby Cinema.

Do you have any baby friendly screenings?

Yes we do! We run a Baby and Me screening designed for parents to bring along their babies to the cinema. This includes having your very own sofa, lower lighting and a softer volume of the film to make things as easy and comfortable as possible for you.

What are you smoking policies at the cinema?

Wetherby Cinema is a completely smoke free environment throughout. The use of electronic cigarettes or any other artificial cigarettes or smoking devices are also prohibited.

How do I book a single seat?

We have a wide variety of seats at Wetherby Cinema, including single seats and double sofas. But all types of seating can be purchased for a single occupant, for example, half a sofa can be booked for one person, so you are not restricted to buying a ticket for just the single armchairs in the auditorium.

What happens if I lose my Gift Voucher?

Unfortunately we are unable to replace any lost or stolen Gift Vouchers for the cinema. There is no way of tracing them, so it's really important that you keep them safe until you're ready to make a booking. Please think of your Gift Voucher like cash!

Do you sell nuts and products that contain nuts at the Cinema?

Yes, we do sell nuts and also have various items that do contain nuts (eg. Cakes, Biscuits Ice Creams etc.)  A full list of all allergens is available on request from any member of the service staff.

We therefore cannot prevent the presence of nut particulates within the cinema on surfaces or in the air.

We must advise that anyone with a strong allergic reaction to nuts and other particles specificed to enter the Cinema at their own risk.

For cinema tickets purchased online, a booking fee of £0.70 per ticket will be payable per transaction.
