Film Certification
Films are rated U, PG, 12A, 15 and 18, based on the BBFC’s guidelines. If a film is labelled TBC, its rating is to be confirmed and we must sell it as an 18 until it is classified.Films are rated U, PG, 12A, 15 and 18. These classification are based on the BBFC’s published and regularly updated guidelines. If a film is labelled TBC, its rating is to be confirmed and we must sell it as an 18 until it is classified.
Whilst ratings are aligned to age, please be aware that films rated as suitable for young people can contain material which people of any age might find unpleasant. If in doubt, visit www.bbfc.co.uk to understand the certifications in more detail or talk to a member of Phoenix staff.
We reserve the right to refuse film admission to anyone who is unable to provide proof of age upon request. We accept any photographic ID displaying date of birth.
NOTE: Where a film has no BBFC certification, it can only be screened to over 18s. This is sometimes the case with world cinema or festival films, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that these films have adult content.
