At the cinema

Electric Palace bar - Jeff PitcherThe bar will be open and staffed throughout the event for beer, ales, wine, Prosecco, tea, coffee and soft drinks.

All alcohol must be purchased from the Electric Palace.

You are welcome to bring your own food and soft drinks – trestle tables can be provided at the front of the cinema.

When providing food for children's parties, please be considerate of food that is not too messy! i.e. cartons of juice rather than open cups and non-sticky sweets or popcorn.

Please note that for children's parties, the cinema is not suitable for running around. Birthday parties for children under 12 years of age should have at least 2 adults to accompany the children. There is a small space for party games and dancing at the front of the venue.

We have DVD or BluRay screening facilities. You are also welcome to bring CDs for music to play before and after the screening. We also have Spotify for your playlists. Please contact us for more details.
