Do you love going to the cinema but hate leaving your dog at home? Then here’s the solution! At the Picturehouse they’re as big a fan of dogs as they are of cinema. So they decided to join the two. Their Dog-Friendly Screenings have been running with huge success for over a year sending tails wagging nationwide.
Every month or so, well-behaved dogs and their friendly owners are welcome at a select film screening which usually takes place on Sunday morning. It’s a great way for dog owners to enjoy cinema without leaving their best friend at home and meet fellow dog-owning film fans.
They always have snacks and water ready and ensure all dogs sit on a blanketed seat to avoid any hair or mess. After the event, the screen is thoroughly cleaned making sure those furry cinephiles leave no trace behind. To further cater to cinema-loving pooches, the volume is dipped as we know they have superhero hearing powers.
