The Box Office opens at least 15 minutes before the start of the first film each day.

You can do this in the café-bar but we can’t guarantee the seat you want will be available. We cannot take swap requests via email or phone.

On most occasions these will run from the advertised start time of the film and are on average approximately 15 mins though we always recommend arriving for the advertised start time as latecomers may not be admitted and timings can be subject to change.

We reserve the right to refuse admission, or we may ask you to leave the premises without a refund, if you do any of the following:
– behave in an anti-social or threatening manner, or put the safety of our customers, staff or property at risk
– bring a camera or recording equipment of any kind into the cinema
– breach any of our terms of admission

We’re sorry to hear that! We want to provide the best experience possible. Please email [email protected]

We currently offer a free carer ticket for CEA card holders – these can currently only be booked in venue.
BAFTA and Cinema and Television Veterans Members can get a free ticket with proof of Membership. The free tickets are only available for films before 5pm, Monday to Thursday, one ticket only, booking on day of film only.

Tickets can be refunded, or switched to a different day or time, at the Chiswick Cinema Main Bar up until 24 hours before the screening start time. We can not currently offer refunds online or by phone/email. Bookings made with Member free tickets are included in this policy.

To get a refund or swap your tickets, please take your booking details and the card you paid with to the Main Bar no later than 24 hours before the start of your screening, and one of our team will assist you where possible.

We currently only allow assistance dogs into screens although all dogs are welcome in our Main Bar-Cafe and we have special Dog-Friendly screenings which you can read about below.

Babies under the age of one can go into screenings free of charge, as long as they meet the film’s minimum age requirement (so only U, PG and 12A certified films), and they are sat on someone’s lap throughout. Children over one year old require a child-rate ticket.

We do ask that you remove your child from the auditorium if they cause a disturbance to your fellow audience members, but we’ll try and make your visit as welcoming and stress-free as we possibly can; if you have any requirements at all, please reach out to a member of our team when you arrive at the cinema.

We also hold weekly screenings of a current release solely for parents and guardians with babies under one year old. Only customers with babies will be admitted. Look for the ‘Parent & Baby’ sign by the listings or click the “Parent & Baby” link at the top of our schedule.

·        For rare screenings, signposted on the website and in person, guests are welcome to bring their dogs with them into the screen (one dog per adult).
·        We recognize that these screenings should not affect the broader use and the enjoyment of other customers and as such we have outlined these policies.
·        Should a dog adversely affect the enjoyment of others, our staff team will step in, if necessary, request that the owner and the dog leave the premises. This is in line with the other Terms and Conditions of the cinema.
·        All other Terms and Conditions and Terms of Admission apply as usual.
·        To ensure that customers who may not wish to watch a film when dogs are present are fully aware of which screening they are booking, all Dog-friendly Screenings will be clearly advertised using the Dog Friendly attribute on our website. The screenings will be on an approximate six weekly basis.
·        All seats that are used by dogs in the screen will be covered with a blanket by the cinema and the blankets will be laundered between screenings separate from other cinema materials.
·        The screen will be fully cleaned after a dog-screening with all seats thoroughly cleaned!
·        During the screenings, the cinema will provide bowls of water for the dogs, used only for this purpose. Dogs cannot be fed in the screen beyond small treats or snacks purchased at the cinema.
·        A risk assessment will also be conducted in relation to the screenings.
·        Should we deem it necessary we will suspend these screenings.
·        In the incredibly unlikely event a dog fouls inside the premises, the procedure for ‘cleaning up bodily fluids’ is to be implemented; the owner can be encouraged to assist.

Andrea’s Film Club is our monthly intro and post film discussion club hosted by local BAFTA award-winning film-maker Andrea Carnevali. Everyone is welcome to join us for a selected film each month followed by a networking session in our Lounge where selected beverages will be available at a reduced price with your film ticket.

Audio description is a special service for visually impaired cinemagoers. For selected films, a narration track is played through a special headset and fills the gaps between dialogue by describing what’s happening on screen. The track is undetectable to anyone not wearing a headset and so doesn’t affect their viewing experience.

Most new films are offered with Audio Description available so please do reach out to the team to check it is available for you in advance of your visit. If you need a headset, please ask a member of staff when you arrive – we can also recommend the best seats to use in the screen.

The Chiswick Cinema is fully accessible to wheelchair users or anyone with limited mobility. There are lifts to all levels and step-free access to all screens, as well as the bar, restaurant and café. Each of our screens have step-free rows.

When you arrive at the cinema, please let a member of staff know if there is anything we can assist you with. Whether it’s moving your booked tickets to another part of the auditorium, information on our Audio Description headsets or helping you to your seat, we’ll assist you wherever we can. A passenger lift services all floors of the cinema including both bars and restaurants. A map of our screens is given below.
