| This cinema is attached, but not affiliated, to the university. Walking by you'd be forgiven for thinking that it's just for student use; however on entering you'll see it's quite the opposite. The majority of the audience are older and regulars; they come here for a chat and a catch-up with friends and the like-minded before seeing a film. | This cinema is attached, but not affiliated, to the university.

| The Stoke Film Theatre shows blockbusters after their multiplex runs, and arthouse films that wouldn't normally be accessible in the city. You never know what you'll come across and it's definitely worth checking the listings frequently. It also supports the annual Stoke Your Fires film festival, and at the end of the academic year you can see the media production shorts from students at the university. | The Stoke Film Theatre shows blockbusters after their multiplex runs, and arthouse films that wouldn't normally be accessible in the city.
