The film plus a nice Braw Tea cuppa ( coffee/tea) and one of our delish sweet treats (we have offered Chocolate Brownies and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Cookies so far!) If this doesn’t suit you, we can offer you an ice-cream instead.

Are there any concessions?

We offer a discounted price for senior citizens of £8 - standard seats/£10 premium seats.

Why isn’t it cheaper?

We have to pay a licence fee of £104 every time we screen a film. Our capacity is not huge. We love film and are trying to offer something local to film lovers who don’t want to go to a multi-plex and love old movies. It’s quite an intimate experience.

How big is the screen?

2.6m x 1.5m and a professional sound system.

What time do I arrive? Do I need a ticket?

The film starts at 7pm, so please arrive 15 minutes before at 6.45 when we serve your hot drink and sweet treat. You don't need your ticket- we have a list of your names and have pre-allocated the seating.

Can I bring my child/baby?

No sorry, the screenings are currently billed as adult only to ensure we comply with age restrictions for the films we plan to screen. We will advertise when it is bring a baby or child friendly.

Can I bring my dog with me?

No sorry, our landlords (Dundee City Council) do not permit dogs in the café- unless this is an assistance dog of course.

Can I bring my own chair?

Yes of course, if you can carry it with you, you can bring it in!

Why isn’t it more than once per month?

We have to move all the tables and chairs in the café to accommodate this and it is a huge amount of shifting work. We also run a busy café and there is only so many hours in the day…

Can I book the cinema for a private hire?

Yes, we can discuss this with you. Email us via the Contact Form to discuss this. Our maximum numbers for private hire are 20.

Use our cafe for private events such as:

Meetings/training events (using our projector and large screen) with tea/coffee/lunch provided by Braw Tea
Cinema hire for small groups up to 20 people

Please be aware we are unable to accommodate exercise classes (we don’t have the space), parties, children’s events or any event when the café and community cinema are operational.
