Extra summer evening showing

We don't usually run movies during the summer months, but this summer we're making an exception! Since we did Barbie back in January, we thought we'd finish the Barbenheimer sequence by showing the award-winning Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy on Saturday June 15th.

It's an evening-only showing, and since it's quite a long film we'll be starting a bit earlier, at 7pm. Doors open at 6:15pm. We hope to see you there!

Announcing the Autumn 2023 season

We're pleased to announce that the 2023 autumn season movies are now confirmed. See here for more details.

From this season onwards, we are making a few changes:

  • We are slightly changing our matinees, by including some matinee films aimed at older audiences. The matinees will now screen at the slightly later time of 3:00pm, with doors opening at 2:30pm.
  • Evening screenings will also be a little later, starting at 7.30pm and with doors opening at 6:45pm.
  • Under-18s get in free!

We look forward to seeing you!

Zonita at Ampthill Festival

Zonita volunteers were delighted to be at the Ampthill Gala in July to spread the word about the community cinema with our light box, posters and flyers. We had lots of interested visitors during a glorious afternoon, including royalty! All our flyers went, with lots of interest in our season 'curtain raisers' on September 10th, 'Encanto' (matinee) and 'Belfast' (evening).

Our 'identify the film' competitions had over 90 entries and the season ticket winners will be announced shortly. We gave away free tickets for all children who entered the competition and look forward to seeing many new faces at Zonita in the autumn!

Zonita privacy policy

It's not the most exciting announcement ever, but I thought you should know that we've added a Zonita Cinema Privacy Policy page. I've tried to keep it as simple as possible, but here's an even simpler version:

If you email us requesting a table or ticket reservation, we'll keep your email address and may use it to email you about upcoming Zonita events. Unless you tell us not to, in which case we'll stop.

Covid restrictions removed

As you may be aware, as of 9th February, the government has decided to end most Covid restrictions. As a result, we are removing most of our Covid precautions on screening days. Of course this does not mean that the pandemic is over, and we still recommend that you do what is sensible to stay safe.

We're back!

Folks, we are delighted to be back with our first screening of the season at Parkside Hall on Saturday 11th September (evening only). And as you might expect, we are implementing a number of measures to keep people as safe as possible when returning.

We hope you enjoy our Autumn season of films!
