The Luxe Cinema

So, if you’ve booked - give yourself extra time for arrival, ticket collection and/or snacks.

Remember - If you look under 18 - we may ask for ID and if no ID is available when asked, we cannot grant entry. So - have that ready too. Thank you.

We are proud to be hosting the British Association of Friends of Museums (BAFM) Annual Conference today.

Not your usual Saturday morning, having the Mayor marched into the cinema flanked by members of The Militias of Anglia (who have a display in our lobby today if you are passing by). A fascinating day ahead.

Box Office for films later opens at 17:30.

Oh What a Night! Yesterday we hosted Isle ‘Ave a Shanty for the third time - and yet again they had the audience clapping, singing and laughing throughout!

Thank you to EVERYONE who bought a ticket - you have helped raise funds for the Friends of Wisbech and Fenland Museum!

Here’s to the next show in ‘25!

There’s always a Joker in the pack, but make sure you have an ID in your pocket too, in case you are asked!

Now Open to Book: The Outrun

Rona, fresh out of rehab, returns to the wild Orkney Islands after more than a decade away. As she reconnects with the dramatic landscape where she grew up, memories of her childhood merge with the more recent challenging events that have set her on the path to recovery.

Showing from Friday 11th October

Tonight - 19:15 - Othello

Captured live in the intimate, candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse earlier this year, this critically-acclaimed sold out production is not to be missed.

Celebrated by many, Othello has risen through the ranks. But can his hard-won reputation, his marriage to Desdemona, and his own subconscious survive the toxic systems that surround him?

Sixteenth-century Venice becomes modern-day London, as Othello grapples with many of the same issues that successful Black people have faced for centuries.

This is an Othello for our times.

(Check our stories for the trailer)

This Friday, Arthur Fleck is back and he isn’t alone!

Joker: Folie à Deux has been granted a 15 certificate by the BBFC - and as with other recent releases, such as Deadpool & Wolverine and Alien: Romulus will may ask for ID from *anyone* that looks under 18.

We can accept Passports, Driving Licences and Any PASS accredited ID card. In some cases - we can accept other photo ID, such as a young persons Rail Card, if it is clear that it belongs to the holder and age is clarified. For example - a 16+ Travel Card with a photo might not have a printed age, but it is sufficient.

If you don’t want to carry important documents - such as your passport - we strongly recommend the YOTI app, which allows for your document to be validated in the app and a PASS ID to be generated directly from the phone. This is also useful as you can restrict information shown to just age - if you prefer.

As ever - if challenged and no ID is provided we will have no option but to refuse entry and no refund will be given (unless a Flexible Booking fee was added to the booking).

Next Weekend - Buffalo Kids.

Set in 1886 America, two young Irish siblings Mary (9-year-old) and Tom (12-year-old) arrive on an ocean liner to the hustle and bustle of New York City. They made the long trip to meet their Uncle Niall and secure their inheritance. But when Uncle Niall, who resides in California, fails to meet them, they decide to try to find him. Nearly penniless, they stow away on the Transcontinental Railway, meeting danger at every turn, until they join forces with a young, handicapped boy and his Governess, Eleanor, in the hopes of making it to California.

Art is Back - and this time he’s feeling festive(!)

The Metropolitan Opera is back at the Luxe!

The first in the new season is Les Contes d'Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann).

Offenbach’s fantastical opera kicks off the Metropolitan Opera’s season of Live in HD performance broadcasts - showing at the Luxe on Oct 7th, starring French tenor Benjamin Bernheim in the title role of the tormented poet. Joining Bernheim is American soprano Erin Morley as Olympia, South African soprano Pretty Yende as Antonia, and French mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine as Giulietta to complete Hoffmann’s trio of lovers. Marco Armiliato conducts Bartlett Sher’s evocative production, which also features American bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as the Four Villains and Russian mezzo-soprano Vasilisa Berzhanskaya in her company debut as Nicklausse.

Tickets on Sale via the Website, App, Phone or at the Box Office.

Inconceivably we still have the front two rows of seats left for our next Isle ‘Ave a Shanty gig!

Best seats in the house for live music! Less than 20 seats remaining - so be quick to secure yours!

Always a fantastic, entertaining evening! Friday 4th October - 20:00

Still Showing: Firebrand (15)

In blood-soaked Tudor England, twice married, accomplished, and educated Katherine Parr (Alicia Vikander), reluctantly agrees to become the sixth wife of the tyrannical King Henry VIII (Jude Law). Her consent to marry him carries great personal risk, given that her predecessors are either vanquished, beheaded, or dead.

Showing until Thursday…

Showing This Weekend - 200% Wolf (U)

Freddy Lupin's wayward wish transforms him into a werewolf and brings a mischievous moon spirit to Earth. With help from his friends and a legendary villain, he must restore cosmic order before the Earth and moon collide.

Coming Soon - The Wild Robot.

Essentially a blend of How to Train Your Dragon, The Iron Giant and Big Hero 6, this stunning film is perfect for all ages!

From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation, Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot.

The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, “Roz” for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.

Tickets will soon by on sale for Paddington 1 and 2!

Back for a Limited Time in October, ahead of the new film in November.

Dame Maggie Smith is a true icon of stage and screen - she may have shuffled off of this mortal coil but her legacy will endure. An acerbic line of dialogue or a stunning dramatic turn might jump to mind. A generation know her as Professor McGonagall but for others it would be Jean Brodie.

…and that’s goodbye to Oli - over nine years of service to the Luxe.

Thank you for everything mate! See you soon for a visit on the ‘other side’ of the counter!

🎄 Christmas Crackers - At the Luxe! 🎅🏼

This festive season we have two titles on sale that are perfect for ALL AGES, from the young, to the young at heart!

On Saturday 14th December at 16:00 we have a Polar Express Pyjama Party! Get cozy with your favourite PJs on, fluffy slippers and a cuddly toy as we present the greatest animated Christmas film about a train full of kids on their way to the North Pole! Of course, we will have hot chocolate available!

(Not dispensed from kettles in the aisles though, imagine the paperwork!).

Then on Christmas Eve morning at 10:15 we have Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. What better way to spend a morning than watching a young boy terrorise a couple of burglars whilst Donald Trump shows up? In many ways an improvement on the first film, this is the first time we’ve ever shown it and cannot wait!

It’s always sad when a team member moves on to the next step of their life, but it’s not often that someone who has been with us for almost a decade leaves - but this week we say goodbye to Oli.

What started as a gap-year job became something much bigger and we will miss him terribly.

From the shocking Starfish Q&A night to a T-Rex attack, by way of flooding toilets, leaking ceilings and exploding glassware - it’s been quite the ride, but all good things come to an end and it’s time to wave him off.

He has left his mark on the Luxe and I know many of you will share our sadness at seeing him go, but also our pride on how far he has come and where he heads next!

His last shifts are tonight and tomorrow daytime - so if you want to pop in - feel free.

EXTRA TWO DAYS! Our friends at Peckover House have extended our loan to cover all remaining shows, so if you are visiting to see Lee (or anything else until Friday) you can take a look at the offerings on show.

Today is your LAST CHANCE to see our Lee Miller/Penrose Family display - in partnership with the National Trust team at Peckover House.

FREE entry - just pop in and have a browse.

Doors Open from 1pm.

Now on Sale - Kiss Me, Kate

Adrian Dunbar (Line of Duty, Ridley) and Broadway royalty Stephanie J. Block (Into The Woods, The Cher Show) lead a stellar cast in a sizzling new 5-star production of Kiss Me, Kate, filmed live at the Barbican in London especially for the big screen. ‘A glorious Golden Age spectacular’ (★★★★★ The Telegraph), Cole Porter’s legendary musical comedy has backstage shenanigans, Shakespearean sonnets and singing gangsters – not to mention a romance that’s just too darn hot – and a full-scale orchestra performing the show tune classics Brush Up Your Shakespeare, Too Darn Hot, Always True To You (In my Fashion) and Tom, Dick or Harry. A simple love story about two people who just can’t stand each other, Kiss Me Kate is unmissable all-zinging entertainment with ‘great songs, hot dancing, smart gags and glorious characters.’ (★★★★★ The Daily Mail)

Showing on Wed 27 November!

It’s not just Avengers that Assemble…
