Phoenix / Keeping you Safe
We’re working hard to ensure that Phoenix is a safe and welcoming place for everyone. We’ve put together this guide to help you plan your visit and learn more about the changes that we've made.
Family Films and Activities
With family tickets just £5 per person, Phoenix really is fantastic value right in the heart of Leicester’s city centre.
We’ve got great family films for all ages, monthly Autism-Friendly screenings, plus an expansive collection of free online workshops which give kids the chance to get creative with the latest digital technologies and film.
If you’re thinking about visiting us, why not book yourself a table in our Café Bar? There’s a brilliant ‘pick & mix’ menu for children with plenty to tempt the fussiest of eaters!
