Escapes offers everyone the chance to step out of the everyday and into the magic of cinema — for free!

Growing up on a Birmingham estate, childhood friends: Patrick, Shiv, Rian, Oli, and Conor played together, skipped school together and dreamt of the lives they would have one day. But now that they’ve hit thirty, harsh reality bites, and the future they once hoped for seems more out of reach than ever.

British drama focusing on the importance of friendship, community, and the beginning of new chapters in life, directed by Clio Barnard and starring an ensemble cast including Anthony Boyle, Daryl McCormack, Joe Cole, Jay Lycurgo, and Lola Petticrew.

Thanks to the BFI, awarding National Lottery funding, Escapes is your invitation to switch off and be transported into stories on the big screen. From exciting previews of new films and beloved blockbusters to thought-provoking documentaries, every visit offers an opportunity to escape.

All screenings include descriptive subtitles, so everyone can enjoy the experience.

There's never been a better time to escape to the cinema. Tickets for this screening are FREE but limited to two tickets per booking and must be booked via the Escapes website (not bookable though our website or customer service desk).
