📣Save Your Local Independent Cinema📣

You may or may not be aware that times are incredibly tough in the cinema industry at the moment. Many independent venues like ourselves are now unfortunately in a ‘use us or lose us’ situation.

In February, we looked at community consensus on why people wouldn’t use the cinema - the biggest being cost. We decided to lower our pricing for March and April and the response from you all about our reduced ticket costs has been so positive! Especially from families who benefitted from affordable visits during the holidays.

Unfortunately with rising costs, we are not able to sustain this initiative without your help. So we are reaching out to you, our local community and asking for your continued support. As a business, we provide a much needed service to the local community that we know would be sorely missed if we were to close.

We feel so lucky to have been a part of the Dunoon community for over 50 years and would love to stay a part of it. Please like, share and comment on this post - help us spread the word.

Did you know Benmore House was the location for the inside of the rehabilitation centre in Behind Her Eyes? This 6 part series based on the novel is still showing on Netflix if you haven’t watched it yet.

We also had the pleasure of welcoming Sigma Films for their production of Educated. The site was used for location filming as well as utilising the accommodation and catering facilities we offer.

Benmore is available for location filming with various site options available.
