Independent Cinema Discounts in Edinburgh

Despite being the centre off all things artsy during the festival in August, for the rest of the year, the film scene in Edinburgh is mainly dominated by big national chains. However, there is a handful of independent cinemas which offer viewings of a wider range of films as well as some great student discounts.

Cinema

The Filmhouse

88 Lothian Road

The Filmhouse is the home of the Edinburgh International Film Festival and has a really varied selection of films at all times. They also have a great café/bar- make an evening of going to the cinema! If you’re a real film buff, it’s worth splashing out £30 on their annual membership which will give you £1.50 off all ticket prices, 10% off in the café/bar, 10% off merchandise and 10% off sweets and soft drinks. Their special Friday matinee promotion means it only costs £2.60 for students to see a film on Friday afternoon.  All other matinees are a steal at £3.60 for students and evening showings are £5.50.

This spacious bar is a great compromise if you fancy something more than a pint in Teviot but can’t be bothered to dress up for George Street. Although the cocktails are quite pricey, they offer cheaper student drinks from Sunday-Thursday which makes it really affordable for cocktails. Great place for catching up with friends without breaking the budget.
