How to get £3 cinema tickets this Saturday for National Cinema Day

There is nothing quite like the cinema, as getting the chance to see films on the big screen is a completely different experience from being at home.

Unfortunately, due to the cost of living crisis bearing down on the UK right now, it is making it harder to go see the latest blockbusters.

However, hundreds of venues are offering tickets for just £3 as part of National Cinema Day.

In fact, there are more than 600 cinemas across the country taking part in the event, including chains such as Odeon, Vue, Cineworld, Showcase, Empire and Picturehouse.

They will be available for one day only, but thankfully there are a few major releases screening right now for you to enjoy.

Some current films screening across the country are DC League of Super-Pets, Nope, Fisherman's Friends: One and All, Thor: Love and Thunder, Minions: The Rise of Gru, Bullet Train and Top Gun: Maverick.

Here is everything you need to know about the unique offer.

When is National Cinema Day?

National Cinema Day is on Saturday, September 3 (GETTY)

National Cinema Day is taking place on Saturday, September 3.

The £3 tickets deal will only last for one day and will not be a weekend-long event.

Tickets can be pre-ordered now, and with the generous sale just days away, seats are being booked quickly across the country.

How to claim your £3 cinema tickets

Firstly, you will need to check if your local cinema is participating in the event.

To do so, head to the website of whichever cinema you frequently attend, and start the ticket pre-order process.

This is no different to booking tickets normally, except when you select the day of September 3, a National Cinema Day discount will automatically be added to the order.

There is no need to worry about signing up for anything or using an online code to activate the deal, it's there waiting for you.

All you need to do is book your tickets.

Most cinemas also allow you to book through a call, which will also be an option for the deal on Saturday.

If tickets are still available for the film of your choice, you will be able to claim the offer from the box office directly as well.

What is National Cinema Day?

National Cinema Day is simply a time to celebrate the love of film across the UK, particularly cinema-going.

The national day is being organised by Cinema First, a cross-industry body that seeks to promote cinema attendance in the UK.

Iain Jacob, chair of Cinema First, said: “There seems no better time than now to celebrate UK cinema-going, one of the nation’s favourite out-of-home leisure activities.

“Coming off the back of a very strong summer for the sector and looking forward to further film highlights over the rest of the year, we wanted to give everyone a chance to enjoy the big screen experience with the film of their choice.”
