Yes, we have a great selection of locally made hot food that will be delivered to your seats during the trailers.

Please note that hot food can only be ordered up until 5 minutes prior to the advertised commencement of the programme. This is to cause minimal disturbance during the film. 

Menus are available on our website.

We kindly ask that no outside food or drink is brought into the cinema. Our aim as a Cinema is to provide the best experience to our customers, we provide all our food, sweets and drinks within this concept.

All of our sweets are provided in "Organza" bags to provide the least disturbance to fellow customers. If ordered from the bar, our food and drink is delivered normally before the film and in the least disruptive way possible!

We also kindly ask you that no alcohol is brought into Ilkley Cinema, in compliance with Licensing Laws. Only alcohol that is sold in Ilkley Cinema can be taken into the auditorium and must be consumed on the premises. We reserve the right to search any guest upon entry to the cinema and any outside alcohol found will be removed without warning. Any guest that refuses to comply with such search shall be refused entry.

Yes! Everything purchased at the bar can be enjoyed in the auditorium and any hot food or hot drinks ordered will be delivered to you at your seat during the previews.

Yes, these can be bought at the Cinema or online.

Online gift vouchers will be sent in the form of an e-voucher, to the email address that you provide at the point of purchase. Gift vouchers bought online will not be posted out to you. If you would like to buy separate gift vouchers as gifts for different people, we recommend buying them individually online or popping into the cinema and buying them at the bar.

Vouchers come in £10, £15, and £20 denominations, they can be spent on food and drink as well as tickets, and we will give change if the full value of the voucher hasn't been met.

Vouchers are valid for one year from the date of purchase. Any gift vouchers that have exceeded their expiry date will not be accepted as payment.

We currently have two forms of gift vouchers in circulation at Ilkley Cinema. One that is a small card with the amount printed on it, with a hand-written expiry date on the reverse. The other is an email gift voucher with a code or a small receipt print out with a similar style of code on it, depending on whether it was purchased online or at the cinema itself.

If you have one of the small cards with a hand-written expiry date, and you would like to book tickets, then you will need to call us on 01943 660007, and we will reserve seats for you. Then if you bring along your gift vouchers on the day of the performance, you can pay for your tickets then. These cannot be redeemed online.

If you have one of our new gift vouchers with a code printed on it, these can now be used to buy tickets online or over the phone. With regards to online bookings, go through the booking process as normal and when you get to the payment page, there will be a section that reads “Redeem a Gift Voucher”, and you can type your code in there. The code will be in the style of V-123-ABC-XYZ.

If you book tickets over the phone, you will need to have the gift voucher to hand and quote the code to the member of staff when purchasing tickets over the phone.

We have several gluten-free and nut-free options on our menu. However, although we take every precaution to avoid cross contamination, all dishes are made and prepared in an environment where gluten and nuts are present so we cannot guarantee your food will not come into contact with allergens. Any member of staff will be happy to provide detailed allergen information for all food products we sell at Ilkley Cinema.

Unfortunately, we don't have any onsite parking at the cinema. There is parking in the main car park in Ilkley (South Hawksworth Street Car Park: LS29 9DX). You could also park on the nearby streets and there is a small free car park opposite Booths supermarket.

We have a wide variety of seats at Ilkley Cinema, including single seats, double and three seater sofas. But all types of seating can be purchased for a single occupant, for example, half a sofa can be booked for one person, so you are not restricted to buying a ticket for just the single armchairs in the auditorium.

Unfortunately we are unable to replace any lost or stolen Gift Vouchers for the cinema. There is no way of tracing them, so it's really important that you keep them safe until you're ready to make a booking. Think of your Gift Voucher like cash.

Baby and me  is a monthly screening event that enables anyone with a child under 12 months to attend. We show a film with softened sound and dim lighting throughout for the comfort of the baby.  We ask that buggies and strollers are kept well clear of fire escape routes, please refer to a member of staff if you are unclear where to stow your pram. Please understand we are unable to allow entrance to customers without babies in attendance for these screenings.

All adults must be accompanied by a child when attending a Kids Club performance. For the avoidance of doubt "Adult" includes those purchasing an Adult, Senior or Student ticket.

For cinema tickets purchased online, a booking fee of £0.70 per ticket will be payable per transaction. This Booking Fee represents our charge for providing a convenient online booking service to our customers and is payable for all online bookings, irrespective of the method of payment. This can be avoided by purchasing tickets at the cinema itself or buying tickets over the phone.
