National Cinema Day

On Saturday, 31st August, more cinemas than ever in Dublin and across the Republic of Ireland will mark the return of National Cinema Day with admission tickets at participating cinemas reduced to just €5 (RSP) including Premium seats, screens and 3D screenings. The 2024 initiative, designed to celebrate the experience of cinema-going, is again supported by Fís Éireann / Screen Ireland.

Last year’s National Cinema Day was a huge success in Ireland, with over 217,000 admissions for that single day, making it the biggest cinema-going day of the year. The cinema industry is looking forward to welcoming even more visitors to the big screen for National Cinema Day 2024 after what has been a huge summer at the box office.

Over 99% of cinemas in the Republic of Ireland will participate in this initiative, offering a wide variety of new and recent releases for audiences to experience, including family favourites that all the family can enjoy as a treat as schools reopen. Cinemas in Dublin and every county in the Republic of Ireland are participating, meaning easy access for audiences to big screen entertainment in their home county.

Off the back of a huge summer at the cinema and the massive popularity of both international and Irish films, the cinema industry in Ireland has united to celebrate the ritual of cinema-going and the important place it has in Irish life and culture.
