The Savoy Cinema is an independent movie theatre in Heaton Moor with a lot of charm. One of my favourite things about coming to the Savoy is just the beautiful building itself. The inside is decorated like an old-style theatre. Its one screen is covered by a thick red curtain pulled back in time for screenings and the red velvety seats are very comfy.

The Savoy screens a mixture of commercial, indie and classic films, as well as putting on film events every now and then. It holds special holiday matinees for kids too. Check their website to find out screening times.

As it only has one screen, there won’t be as many options for film times as your local Odeon or Cineworld, but what’s great is that they keep showing popular films that have been out for a while. So if you miss something that you really want to see (which happens to me a lot), there’s a chance there’ll still be some screenings you can catch. 

Book and pay for tickets in advance via the Savoy’s website or call their box office to book and pay on arrival by cash or card. They have a bar too, so you can buy drinks and snacks  to take into the film.
