Classic Season: Summer Road Trips

Summer is here and the sun is shining, so climb into the van, set the SAT-NAV for places unknown, and give those bike tires a good pumping as we hit the road with four Summer Road Trips classics voted for by our programming group of staff and volunteers.

Join us as we journey from heartfelt indie comedies, to psychedelic trips through the desert, chilling psychological ordeals in the French countryside, culminating with the brand new 4K restoration of Ridley Scott’s ride-or-die feminist classic Thelma & Louise.

Plan your visit

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 don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
