Traditional single-screen cinema in Headingley showing current releases in a genuinely vintage setting. Reasonable ticket and snack pricing, parking available, and a loyal local following built over decades.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with older children who will appreciate a genuinely historic cinema over a modern multiplex. The affordable tickets and snacks make it a low-cost outing, and the intimate single-screen format gives it a community feel. Families with noise-sensitive children should the sound system runs at high volume.

“What a fab traditional single screen cinema, please please support and visit as soon as you can . Watched the new Elvis film and they show all the latest releases , see website . Staff very friendly and such a shame there was only a handful of us in attendance.”

“The Cottage is a local treasure and I’ve enjoyed films there for over seventy years. But please could you turn down the volume a bit on your magnificent hi-fi sound system, otherwise it'll be the end of an era for me? As I write this my ears are still ringing after ‘Marty Supreme’ last night - even though I used ear-plugs which I had with me after being deafened by ‘Conclave’ a year ago, and slightly less so by ‘Choral’ in November. Everything else is great - it's just the volume!”

“Brilliant cinema. One of a kind. Must visit. This was in my list to visit for years and I am now in love with it. It has been maintained its old vibes which adds to its uniqueness. The modern cinemas are no longer appealing to me. They screen new and old movies. Variety of drink and snack selections which you can get in small, medium and large. Ice creams available too. Reasonable ticket price and the staff are great.”
