Changes to our Toilet Facilities

Jun 6, 2026 | News

At our UPP, we aim for everyone to feel welcome.

As part of ongoing improvements to our facilities, we are introducing a mix of private and shared toilet facilities that can be used by anyone.

For those who prefer complete privacy, on the left-hand side of the screen we have  a private, single occupancy facility with loo and handwashing.  On the right-hand side, there are two private cubicles with shared handwashing facilities. All of these are available for anyone to use. 

We know that people have different needs and preferences, and we are keen to find an approach that works for as many people as possible within the space available.  We’d welcome all feedback – positive and negative – during this trial period. 

We are also aware that our current toilet facilities do not adequately meet the needs of many of our disabled audiences. Improving accessibility remains a priority for us, and we are actively exploring funding opportunities that would allow us to invest in better facilities in the future.

Thoughts and feedback: Please feel free to contact Mitch, our Management Committee member responsible for Inclusion at the UPP, on [email protected]

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
