Saturday afternoons (or, you know, Wednesday lunchtimes if you’re a wildcard like us) are the perfect time to immerse yourself in a full cinematic experience.
We love nothing more than spending a few hours diving into another world and escaping into an engaging story told through an incredible cinematic voyage. The cinema is one of the nation’s favourite pastimes, and there’s nothing quite like seeing an epic new movie (or old favourite) on the big screen. Combine this with delicious snacks and drink, and you’re onto a winning combination. Let us regale you with tales of a brilliant independent cinema right on your doorsteps.
Introducing The Mockingbird Cinema and Bar.
Located just a stone’s throw from the city centre, in the iconic Custard Factory in Digbeth, The Mockingbird Cinema and Bar is your new go-to destination for movies old and new.
The Mockingbird Cinema is a fully independent cinema, meaning not only are they not part of a big chain, but they also hand-pick the films that they showcase, without influence and direction from big cinema chains and movie companies. This means they are free to choose the films that they want to show and think their audience will enjoy the most. So, in their listings expect to see some new, exciting blockbusters but also a whole load of classics and old favourites. And themed events, let’s not forget them – taking place throughout the year, there are moveie and wine events, movie marathons, special guest Q&As, celebrity meet and greet events and more. Nicely done Mockingbird.
Let’s talk snacks. No trip to the cinema would be complete without some epic snacks. It doesn’t get better than mouthfuls of delicious popcorn when it comes to the ideal movie snack, and naturally they have popcorn on offer at The Mockingbird. But you can also grab some tasty sweets to tide you over during the film, or if you prefer something savoury they have crisps too. Perfect!
Not only is this a working cinema, but you can even hire it our for private events. Ever wanted to hire out a movie screen just for you and your mates? Or have you wanted to celebrate your birthday in style with a private movie screening? Looking for your office’s next team-building activity? Look no further than the Mockingbird. Their cinema room can be rented out for private events and functions to provide you with a fun and memorable experience like no other. They have 2 screens to choose from; a 90- seat screen and a 30- seat screen, and to make the experience extra special, they can provide your party with delicious food and drink. You’ll be hailed an office hero. Well played you, well played.
