Janepie33 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Does anyone know if it is illegal to take alcohol into cinemas? I have been to a couple of Everyman cinemas where you can order a bottle of wine to be brought to your sofa, but I have heard a rumour that it is illegal to take alcohol into some cinemas. Does anyone know if this is true?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundgirl Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I don't honestly know but Everyman are such a great cinema with such a lovely ethos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 By us the Vue cinema has Gold Class for 18's only. Posh electric reclining leather sofa's, and there is a bar to buy alcohol Maybe just phone and ask the cinema? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I don't think it's illegal, as too many places sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Perhaps something to do with licencing laws etc ?? donald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBevBen Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I don't think it's illegal as most cinemas have bars thesedays. Have to say when we went to see "Sex In The City 2", we took in some small bottles of wine and it wasn't a problem xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 It depends on which cinema you go to, if the cinema has no licence for selling alcohol, then it is illegal to consume alcohol on the premises. Licensing Act 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsk Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Agree with the vue cinema and gold class bit, it's fantastic, lovely seats and a bottle of wine. At the Printworks in Manchester you can also take alcohol into the premier seating bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Our cinema has popcorn and pop most of which has been spilt on the floor. You're lucky not to get stuck the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Not at Cineworld.... I don't think it is common as not seen in a number of cinemas. I think it is more about not bringing your own though. Alcohol and Food Policy: No alcohol, food or soft drink may be brought onto the premises. Only food and drink bought on the premises may be consumed on the premises.
