Ashford Picturehouse

Watch mainstream blockbusters, indie gems, and filmed live theatre right in the centre of Ashford

The membership option at the Picturehouse is very good value and one my family has enjoyed in recent years.


Ashford Picturehouse opened in 2018 just on the edge of the town centre. Sitting on the site of the old Cattle Market, (you can find our weekly auctions at the New Cattle Market!) the original gates are on display outside. This is a cinema experience based in community.

Inside the spacious foyer there is plenty of comfortable seating. You can even sit outside in the warmer months and watch the world go by. A large auditorium is available for private and commercial hire, seating up to 60 people.

A fully licensed bar is on site too. Beers from local brewer Curious Brewery are available, or you can choose from the extensive wine list. Non-drinkers, coffee fans, and those who like being cosy are catered for as well. The community space is open to all. Enjoy a hand-crafted cup of coffee and a slice of cake before or after the film, or just to treat yourself.

An in-house kitchen, open seven days a week, provides a further range of food. Ashford Picturehouse work with local farmers and suppliers to source 100% British meat. Not only that, but vegan and vegetarian options are always on offer.

A choice of six screens show a mix of classic films and new releases, along with livestreamed opera and theatre. Autism- and dementia-friendly screenings are available throughout the week, as are baby and toddler shows. With screen sizes ranging from 81 seats to 231 seats, the Ashford Picturehouse makes for a relaxing cinema experience.

The Ashford International Station is a five-minute walk away, and the town centre is well-served by bus routes. Or, the Elwick Road car park features 275+ bays, including electric charging bays. Parking is free with a valid cinema ticket.

Ashford Picturehouse is a cinema, restaurant, and community space for everyone. See the best that Ashford has to offer.
