Cheap cinema tickets for school trip

Hi all!

Just wondered if anyone could help please? Planning on taking my class of 8 SEN children to the cinema in a few weeks as an end of term treat. Our nearest cinema is Vue.

Does anyone know if there is a particular day of the week/time of the day that would be cheapest to go?

There will be myself and my TA (2 adults) and 8 kids (aged 13-14).

We have looked into buying a family ticket (so 4people pay child's price) but other than that it won't save us much money.

We could do Orange Wednesdays but not sure where we can get 5 codes from?

We have £35 left from an enterprise class project earlier in the year but as the kids want to watch a 3D film it still leaves a big chunk to pay for.

Thanks in advance for any advice :)

    My advice would be contact the cinema directly, they may have a special group rate. Investigate the CEA card, and discuss your options with them.
  • People with sen can get buy one get one free if you have a copy of their dla entitlement.. I would however ring the cinema and explain your situation, they may be able to offer you a discount if you explain x

    i'd agree with contacting the individual cinema to ask what's best, as I think prices and offers can vary between locations. Our local Vue has 'super saver Tuesdays' where all seats are £5.30 if you have a free loyalty card
