Special Events
From welcoming visionary directors for in-person screenings and audience Q&As, to hosting live-scored performances by brilliant musicians, to throwing community events that spill out of the screen and into real life – UPP is more than just a cinema and regularly hosts special events that bring that movie magic a little closer.

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!
