Scott Cinemas Gift Cards are available to purchase in all cinemas and online. Online you can buy physical and e-Gift Cards, all Physical Gift Card purchases are subject to a postage fee. All our Gift Cards can be used at any of our cinemas across the country, the confirmation email will say Bristol on it as that is our head office. Gift cards can be bought in multiples of £5.

Select the cinema you are visiting and click on 'What's On' for a full list of all films and times. 'What's On' can list showtimes by either 'All Film' or by date. Once you have decided on a showing time, simply click that time and the 'Book Now' link. Please note that if an individual date shows no performances, then we have not yet added film schedules for that date.

We no longer provide telephone booking facilities. Wheelchair spaces are now available to book online & the use of a CEA Card can now be used online by selecting the relevant CEA ticket.

To offer these services we have to use other, intermediate companies and the Booking Fees are set to at least help to offset the additional costs incurred by us. We do not charge a 'Credit Card Processing Fee' and credit and debit card bookings done in person at a cinema do not incur any additional charge

If you book online you should receive a confirmation email - sometimes these can end up in your “spam” folder, depending on your security settings. In the vast majority of cases the booking will be OK even if you have not had this confirmation. To double check you can either use the “Contact" page on the web-site (we will reply within 24 hours) or by calling the telephone number of the cinema (at the foot of this page) to speak to a member of staff.

You may be lucky and be able to buy more seats next to the ones you have already booked, you will see on the seating plan if the seats next to youroriginal booking are still available. If this is not the case, you will need to call the cinema directly.
 
If you would like to cancel or otherwise change a booking you will need to contact customer service or the cinema direct not less than 2 hours before the start of the performance. When contacting customer service, head to the ’Contact Us’ page on our website and select 'Ticket Refund or Transfer' in the drop down menu. Please refer to our “Terms & Conditions” for full policy details applicable to cancellations.

Not all our cinemas are open all day every day - on certain days some open only in the evenings. To ensure that you are calling when there is someone there to help you just check the film times for that day and call after the first performance time. If you are making a visit to one of our cinemas, they each open daily 15 minutes before the first advertised performance.

You will need to bring the Card that was used to make the booking in order to collect your tickets, or your Booking Collection Code from the App or confirmation email. All cinemas have ATMs, insert the card and your tickets will be issued. Pre-booked tickets can also be issued at any till point within the cinema. Pre-booking does not automatically entitle you to skip the queues in the cinemas, especially during busy times where there may be queues for ATM terminals and ticket sales.

No problem! If you have booked online just make sure that the person who will be collecting the tickets brings the confirmation print-out. Please note that we can no longer search for bookings using the last four digits of the card number.

Yes. You can collect your tickets at any time after they have been booked and before the performance time. All our cinemas now have a "self service" ATM where you collect tickets from.

Most of our cinemas have dedicated ticket desks for ticket purchase within the cinema. Occasionally during quiet times, we may opt to sell all tickets and refreshments from one location rather than a separate ticket desk, and in this case, signage will be on display directing you to the appropriate counter. All our cinemas now have a "self service" ATM where you can buy tickets from.

Yes, once the seat is sold to you it will not be re-sold, although we may allocate it to another customer if it is better placed than their seat and you have not arrived within 10 minutes of the film starting. If you decide not to come, we cannot re-sell your seat and therefore cannot reimburse you.

We accept most major Credit/Debit cards but not American Express or Electron, and all of our sales terminals can accept credit and debit card payments. We accept Contactless payments as well as ApplePay and Google Pay.

Our Cinema weeks run Friday until Thursday. We scheduled our films a week in advance on the Monday for the coming Friday until Thursday.

A Family Group Ticket covers two full price (Adult, 15 years and over) admissions and two reduced price (Student/Senior/Child, 14 years and under) admissions. They can also be used for 1 adult and 3 child admissions, and further children/grandparents/adults, etc. can be added at normal relevant prices. You don't have to be related to use this discounted ticket, and we'll try to be flexible.

Adult prices start at 17 Years Old. For full details of pricing policy please see our “Terms & Conditions”

For your enjoyment and the enjoyment of others, we strongly recommend that very young children are taken to our specially tailored and great-value Kid's Club weekend performances rather than standard screenings. However, the MAJORITY of our cinemas allow babies entry to morning and afternoon shows of child friendly U, PG and even some 12A certificate films. This is always at the Duty Manager's discretion and the decision is based on many factors, including the type of film, the audience and the numbers present for that film. If entry is permitted we ask that babies are taken out of the screen if they cause any disturbance whatsoever, and failure to do this will result in all members of the group being asked to leave. No refunds will be given under these circumstances. We may consider a goodwill refund if you bring the baby out yourself, but are unable to calm them enough to re-enter the screen within a reasonable time. Under 3's, if admitted, are free if they sit on a carer's lap, but will be charged for if they occupy a seat. All 3 year olds and over will be charged the child's rate whether they occupy a seat or not. If customers pre-book and are not permitted entry a full refund will be given excluding booking charges, so we do suggest checking film suitability with the cinema beforehand. The standard call-rate landline numbers for each cinema can be found near the top of this FAQ page.

This means that children under 12 CAN watch a “12A” film as long as they have someone 18 or over with them. Children aged 12 and over can go in unaccompanied.

Premium seats are larger, more comfortable seats placed towards the rear of the auditorium.

Ads and trailers normally run for approx 25 minutes. Some films have no Ads before them, in these cases 10 minutes are allowed for trailers only. The time advertised is no less than 10 minutes before the feature film starts.

Yes, at all sites. There are Terms & Conditions that apply to all Meerkat Movies tickets - please see the Meerkat Movies offer section on this website, or the comparethemarket.com website, for more details.

Each cinemas 'Cinema Details' page on this website describes the accessibility features that the cinema has, and also our Accessibility Policy can be found by clicking the link at the bottom. If you need any further details, you can use the 'Contact' page or speak to a member of staff in any cinema by calling the numbers above.

Blue Complimentary passes and Admit One guest passes can be used for any film at any time, except where films are marked as Free List Suspended. We recommend checking with the cinema first (see 5)

This put simply means that we cannot allow any free tickets for a film - this would include Blue complimentary passes and Admit One passes (except where noted). These restrictions are placed by the film distributors.

Some major releases can be set somewhat in advance and then we can often publish times and take bookings for some weeks before they start. Most programmes however are re-set on a weekly basis, if a film performs above expectations over a weekend it will likely be held for a further week. If it does not perform as expected it may end later that week, or may have a reduced number of performances per day for its next week.
 
This means that the film details for any week (the cinema week runs Friday to Thursday) will normally be on the website and phone system by the preceding Monday, usually after 6pm.
 
Each cinema does have a list of “likely” future films. These are not set in stone, but may help.

There are often 8 or 9 films released each week and we have to select from those which we think will do the best business. The smaller the town, the fewer screens the cinema is likely to have and this will mean that only films from the top 5 or 6 are likely to be shown. We do always try to match programming to the preferences of the local population. If there are any particular movie titles you would like to be shown at your local cinema, send our customer services an email request for this film and we will give it to our bookings manager to look at.

Film Distributors often require all shows, every day and unless we agree to this we cannot show that film on its release date. This policy is reviewed weekly, on Mondays, and when for example, we have been showing a family film all day, every day, we will add a different, more adult film in the evenings when we are permitted to do so.

3D films cost more to make, cost us more to show, and the Digital Projectors plus 3D equipment cost anything from £65,000 to £90,000 per screen. In addition to this glasses cost £17 per pair. The 3D surcharge is needed to recover at least some of these costs. In Bridgwater, we use a different type of 3D system and you will have to pay for 3D glasses on top of the 3D surcharge. The 3D glasses are yours to keep and re-use so you don’t have to pay each time.

Over the years, 3D has become a least popular option with most choosing to watch films in 2D. Where a film does have a 3D version, we try to play at least twice a week, depending on the cinema to give people the choice if they wish to watch the film in 3D.

All of our cinemas use Dolby 3D. We chose Dolby as in our view it is the best system available, and also has the lowest running cost which measn we can keep the 3D upcharge as low as possible. 

For performances with allocated seating, the website seating plan will not allow you to leave a single-seat gap between your own booked seats, and others that have already been booked. This is to ensure that for busy performances, customers arriving in groups are not left to find single seats in the auditorium.

It is against the law to knowingly admit any person into an age restricted film who is not of the age required. For all age restricted films (12A, 15 and 18 certificates) photographic identification and proof of age may be requested. We cannot admit any persons to an age restricted film who are, or appear to be, under the age required. The word of an accompanying parent is not regarded as proof, and it is the sole responsibility of the cashier and manager to judge a young persons age.

Have you heard about Yoti? Yoti’s Digital ID gives you a convenient and privacy-friendly way to prove who who are with the Yoti app. You only need to verify their identity details once with Yoti to create a reusable digital ID they can use to instantly access your services.

We receive many messages from charities and organisations every week with requests for cinema tickets and sponsorship. Whilst we will respond to every message, as we receive so many request’s we unfortunately cannot always help everybody. The way we manage it fairly is we send the requests to your local cinemas who will pick one at random a month.

You can call each cinema during opening hours using the numbers listed on the 'Contact' page of this website. Not all of our cinema are open all day, every day, and therefore no members of staff will be available to take phone calls until they open. Please note that staff cannot take advance bookings on these telephone numbers, and any requests for ticket booking will be passed back to this website.

Our Gift Cards have a long validity period of 24 months (2 years) from the date of purchase if they remain inactive. An 'inactive' card is one that has not had any further balance added to it. Accountants and financial institutions treat Gift Cards issued as a "debt" that must ultimately be repaid. When Gift Cards are exchanged for something with a monetary value (i.e cinema tickets and refreshments), the balance returns to the business and therefore the debt is paid. If unused Gift Cards were to not have an expiry date, that "debt" could never be consolidated. Therefore, it is necessary to set an expiry date so that monies can be recouped within a period of time, and debts consolidated.

All our online gift cards will say ‘Bristol’ as this is where we send our online gift card orders from.
