We are introducing a range of new cinema memberships at Mareel.
We are offering new ways to save on cinema tickets and enjoy additional benefits. The memberships will launch alongside updated cinema ticket prices, which will take effect for our April films going on sale on the 26th March.
While our funding helps subsidise all our activity at Shetland Arts, our rising costs - including energy costs and our commitment to being a Real Living Wage employer, mean we’ve had to make the difficult decision to increase ticket prices.
These changes will help ensure the long-term sustainability of the cinema, allowing Shetland Arts to continue offering our current programme of screenings. We’re also introducing new memberships, giving audiences more ways to save when visiting the cinema.
The updated cinema ticket prices (including 10% booking fee) will be:
£7.15 - Cheap Tuesdays
£9.90 - Off-peak screenings (Wed, Thu, Fri afternoon)
£12.10 - Peak screenings (Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sundays)
£7.15 - Under 16s
Alongside these changes, Shetland Arts are pleased to announce new cinema memberships which offer a range of benefits for a variety of cinemagoer.
