A number of Kent cinemas are offering discounted tickets to celebrate this year’s National Cinema Day.

Film fanatics can book tickets to see any film at their local cinema for just £3 on Saturday, September 3.

More than 600 cinemas will be participating up and down the country, from nationwide cinema chains to independent theatres.

The discounted ticket offer will apply to a wide range of films, including recent box office hits such as Minions: The Rise of Gru and Elvis, showing at your selected cinema this Saturday.

Iain Jacob, chair of Cinema First, said: “There seems no better time than now to celebrate UK cinema-going, one of the nation’s favourite out-of-home leisure activities.

“Coming off the back of a very strong summer for the sector and looking forward to further film highlights over the rest of the year, we wanted to give everyone a chance to enjoy the big screen experience.”

It is also hoped that the offer will see people returning to theatres after a difficult couple of years as the future of the big screen remains uncertain.

• Cineworld (Ashford, Rochester, Dover)
