PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

We are delighted to be able to host an in-person FrightFest physical event in October. However, we would be disingenuous if we said it was going to be the event that FrightFesters have known over the last 20 years.

Please read the following paragraphs carefully. They explain how the ticketing will work, and the rules that need to be adhered to in the cinema that are in place to keep FrightFesters safe while allowing the organisers to deliver an enjoyable Arrow Video FrightFest for everyone.

The big difference this year will be that there are no festival passes. It will be single tickets only. Team FrightFest have gone over this time and time again, but we just can't see how they will work given what we have to work with.

Firstly, there is no Prince Charles cinema, so it's three screens within the Cineworld, Leicester Square resulting in a change in the way that the festival has had to be programmed. To maximise the number of films and seats available other than the opening film, and films in Screen 2, because of its seating capacity, it is a no-repeat FrightFest. So, I'm sure that you understand why our normal much-loved ticketing system won't work.

So as mentioned above, we are running individual films, across three screens, throughout the weekend. You will need to purchase a ticket for each screening, so you can book as many films as you wish. To make this more affordable we have reduced the single tickets to £9.99 each, plus fees.

To help increase the capacity within the cinema, we have set aside single seats (Yellow) and double seats (blue). If you are coming as a pair, you will need to select the two blue seats next to each other to check out. If you are on your own, please book a yellow seat, please do not try and book the double seats. We are aware some households may have three or more adults, but after much consideration, we thought this was the best way to do it.

Please only sit in the seat number you have purchased. As part of Cineworld's guidance, we have to leave empty seats between bookings, so whilst there may be a nicer, empty seat in the screen on the day, these MUST be left empty to adhere to the rules.

To avoid large queues, Cineworld will open the screens 30 minutes before the film starts. We would advise you to take your seat as soon as possible to help avoid large crowds. In the larger screens, to avoid queues in the foyer food and snacks will be available for purchase inside the screen.

Please be aware; latecomers may not be admitted, so please get to your seat before the film is due to start.

Once the film is finished, Cineworld staff will direct you out of the building.

In line with government guidelines, face coverings must be worn in the cinema foyer and screens, although they can be removed when eating and drinking.

By purchasing your ticket online, you agree for your information to be retained as part of the NHS Test and Trace system. This information will be passed on to Cineworld, and they will retain the data for contact tracing purposes only, in line with government guidance (typically for a period of no more than 21 days).
