SIX

The crowning glory of Broadway, the West End and beyond, the international smash-hit musical SIX makes its royal return to Leeds following three sell-out visits!

Calamity Jane

Gosh, almighty! Grab a posse because the whip-crackin’ musical comedy classic Calamity Jane is rollin’ on over the plains to The Grand. Based on the much-loved Doris Day movie, this plumb fancy new production stars the multi-award winning West End actor and singer Carrie Hope Fletcher (Cinderella, Les Misérables) and begins its UK and Ireland tour in January 2025.

Ernest & Celestine

The exciting renovation of our local bear pit is the perfect excuse to watch the much beloved story of the unlikely friendship between a bear and a young mouse.

We are collaborating with our dear friends at Leeds Civic Trust to help promote the exciting work taking place at our fellow grade II listed site, the Leeds Victorian Bear Pit, just round the corner on Cardigan Road, by screening a firm audience favourite which features, in our opinion, one of the best cinematic bears!

Doctor Who: The Legend of Ruby Sunday & Empire of Death

No Doctor Who fan is going to want to miss the only opportunity to see the biggest and most spectacular episode in the show’s history, and the epic conclusion to the latest season, on the big screen.

We're partnering with Cinemalive to bring Doctor Who back to the big screen with this special cinema presentation of the latest season’s final two episodes. Described by showrunner Russell T. Davies as “Literally the biggest finale ever. If ever you’re going to stay up until midnight, I would recommend it for the final one - because you will be screaming.”
