While we love a good blockbuster or, every now and then, to jump out of our skin with the latest horror release, it’s not just about movies at Cineworld. Our Event Cinema screenings put you right in the front row at the theatre, whether a play or musical, or at the barrier of an electric rock concert. There's also an opportunity to take pause with more mellow classical events from world famous composers and musicians.
With the dark evenings setting in and twinkly lights and mulled wine just around the corner, there is no better time now than to have a night at the ballet or the opera, with both The Met and RBO entering their 2025-26 season. If K-Pop is more you're thing, there's another K-Pop boy band documentary here for you, as well as festive classical music, too, and a legendary rock band tribute for their 60th anniversary.
Find our full upcoming calendar for Event Cinema below.
NT Live: The Fifth Step (27th November)
A double whammy of British talent, Jack Lowden and Martin Freeman star in another instalment from NT Live, The Fifth Step. A hilarious new play from David Ireland, James agrees to become Luka’s sponsor at Alcoholics Anonymous after spending many years in the 12-step programme. Of course, he’s got secrets of his own, with the play going on a “journey to sobriety” in which “the pair bond over black coffee, trade stories, and build a fragile friendship out of their shared experiences”.
Westlife - 25th Anniversary Concert (29th November)
Who’d have thought it? Two and a half decades since Westlife first formed, with Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, and Kian Egan set to perform at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London. Celebrating their 25th Anniversary, expect to hear a number of their biggest hits. Having charted at number one 14 times, fans can hear “Flying Without Wings”, “You Raise Me Up”, and their cover of “Uptown Girl”.
Monsta X: Connect X In Cinema (3rd December)
Another month, another celebration of a boy band who have dominated the K-Pop genre in recent years.
