Here at the Showroom, we welcome everyone. We’ve done our best to create a place for anyone to explore the wonderful world of cinema: immerse yourself in the latest releases and delve into some classics. Bring friends, family, a first date or just come by yourself – we don’t mind!

Our in-house film team select films from around the world, always with the people of Sheffield in mind. We’re champions of cinema that starts a conversation and sometimes, we like to take a chance on something a little bit risky. We might not always show the biggest blockbusters but we’ll always have something fun, entertaining or adventurous and we’ll join you for a chat in the bar after the film.

Shaping Film Culture

In our 25 years as Sheffield’s independent cinema, we’ve had a front row seat for the rise of many filmmaker favourites. From WARP films hosting the premiere of This Is England back in ’06, to launching Funny Cow with a glitzy gala in 2018. We like to create experiences that celebrate vibrant cinema, supporting the filmmakers of tomorrow by building a hub for new talent to come and find their voices.
