10th birthday party

We’re celebrating our 10th birthday in style, with a party for all our lovely customers.

Join us for an evening of short films across both our screens, bringing you some of the best work made by local, established and emerging talent.

Then pop into our Screen Room and don a headset to enjoy amazing Virtual Reality experiences, before you check out our incredible new exhibition, Three Breaths in Empty Space – specially commissioned to mark our 10th anniversary in Leicester’s Cultural Quarter.

There’ll be a DJ set in our Café Bar, and a complimentary drink for everyone… and if you’re lucky there may still be a piece of birthday cake left.

And the best thing is, it’s all FREE!

No tickets required, just drop in and join the party.

NOTE: Our kitchen will be closed from 2pm –  7.30pm, and Phoenix will be closed to the general public from 5pm – 6.50pm on Tue 19 Nov to give us time to prepare for the festivities.
