    Saw Hitchcock in Worcester today. Really enjoyed it. Took own food and drinks so including parking the trip cost £4 for two people. :D

    We were in Worcester too today, great turn out and a fantastic film. We also took our own food, It was my first free film and I took my daughter. I am over the moon :)
    Wishing you all good luck!

    Which cinema was this at? And who issued the tickets?

    You shouldn't be charged for the 3D glasses.
  • I agree. Normally they charge, but for a free screening the glasses are free. I saw Ralph at the Odeon and no charge.

    Glad you enjoyed it. :)
    We never pay for any food or drink in the cinema. Poundland for 3 cans of coke (1 each and a spare for next time!), some wine gums for OH who doesn't like popcorn and popcorn for me. Sorted. :beer:

    Let's await a reply. There was a time when Vue charged then brought themselves into check.

    Good movie day, today Wreck-Ralph this morning and Hitchcock.
    I always carry spare 3D glasses with me, just in-case they charge.

    If you have your own with you, why not use those anyway and help the environment?

    I always keep 4 in the car cause you end up with far too many lying around the house otherwise :)
  • With having a 3D TV I love when they do the free glasses, we invite friends round to watch films/tv shows at home so always in need of the extra glasses.
