National Cinema Day Returns for 2024

Saturday August 31st marks the return of National Cinema Day for 2024. To celebrate its return participating cinemas across Tipperary are allowing film goers entry for the reduced ticket price of just €5. This reduced ticket price includes all screenings, premium seats and 3D films.  

This event is not only exclusive to the Premier County, with 99% of cinemas nationwide participating the Irish public will have the opportunity to see some of the year’s most popular releases in their home county.  

Speaking about the importance of National Cinema Day for the promotion of Irish film and cinema, Colm Bairéad, director of Oscar® nominated An Cailín Ciúin( The Quiet Girl), said “It’s great to be asked to help celebrate the return of National Cinema Day this year, I’ve loved going to the cinema since I was a child. It’s a magical place to immerse ourselves in stories that entertain or enlighten, stories that move us and remind us of our shared humanity. What’s truly wonderful about it, is that it’s something we do together, a shared experience without distraction. We were delighted that audiences across Ireland took An Cailín Ciúin into their hearts and showed up in their thousands to experience the film on the big screen at their local cinema.  The cinema is where our stories really come to life and National Cinema Day is a brilliant opportunity to reconnect with the big screen experience.   Screen Ireland has been hugely supportive of National Cinema Day and of course also An Cailín Ciúin, which will be back for special one-off screenings in some select cinemas on National Cinema Day.  All of the cinema community in Ireland encourage you to go and enjoy the day!” 

Tickets for this special event can be purchased through the websites of participating cinemas in Tipperary and from the box office from Sunday August 25th.  

New releases such as Deadpool & Wolverine, It Ends With Us, The Crow and A Quiet Place: Day One will continue to run throughout National cinema day and along with these, other films will make a special return for the event including the Italian Job and a remake of The Count of Monte Cristo.
