Is Odeon putting a dent in your pocket? Do you still want to go and watch films and not pay extortionate prices? Is that a yes? Well looky here we have the best suggestion for you:

*Drum roll*

The Ritz.

Look at that beautiful building.

Located on the High Street, the art deco inspired building was built in the 1930s. (I know. It’s very old but it is pretty swag). It has only re-opened it’s doors two years ago.  The Ritz team are trying to restore the old cinema back to it’s original beauty. (If you want to learn more about the Ritz go to the Facebook page. We weren’t going to type it all out for you).

So, what have they done in the two years that have caught our attention?
– Epic film marathons.
Example: Studio Ghibili films , Batman trilogy, all eight Harry Potter films, Lord of the Rings.
– Musicals, where the audience can dress up.
Example: the Rocky Horror picture, Grease. 
– Live events to meet actors.
Example: the sixth Doctor Colin Baker from Doctor Who, the boys from Red Dwarf and the cast of This Is England. (Come on, it seems pretty sweet).
–They have a mini shop where you can buy film memorabilia and prints.

So you get the message they have awesome events but what about the cost of all this?

Okay prepare yourself for the moment. Take a seat.

To see one film it costs £5, for a marathon it would roughly be £15 and events to meet actors could range from £15-£25 for an all day event.  So you can meet some of your favourite actors in Lincoln and not having to travel to London for Comic Con. (Also just to add they do, do offers on tickets where it can be buy one get one free).

What about food prices? Well it doesn’t cost £8. It will most likely be less than a £5 depending on what you eating, but they have a bar! An alcoholic bar!  (And we’re still waiting to try the Breaking Bad cocktail…please remember to drink responsibly….and in no way we are promoting alcohol).

So there you have it. Go on the Ritz’s Facebook, check out their events and donate to help restore the old cinema. If any more enquiries contact them, they are a pretty friendly people.
